Northern Masked Chafer
Cyclocephala borealis
The adult is a small tan scarab beetle found around lawns, fields, and woodland edges during warm summer nights. It flies after dusk, often coming to lights, and females burrow back into soil to lay eggs. Adults feed little or not at all, living mostly on reserves built up during the grub stage. A notable fact is the dark mask-like shading on the head that gives masked chafers their common name.
