JUNE BUG. 331 JTJNGHAtrS. JUNE BUG, or MAY BEETLE. Any one of tile large, clumsy suarab*id beelles of the genus Laelinosterna, common in the United States. The adult beetles often do considerable damage to the foliage of joung fruit and shade trees, swarming after dark and feeding upon the -oung leaves, especially in the months of ilay and .Tune. They are commonly attracted to lamp-light, and are familiar olijecls in houses in the evenings during early sunniier, buzzing about the light and white walls and frequently falling to the floor. The larviB are large white grubs which live beneath the surface of the soil and damage the roots of grasses and other plants. When numerous they are very injurious to the sod of lawns and meadows, cutting off the roots just below the surface of the ground, so that a close sod may be rolled up like a carpet. The best remedy against the larvae consists in washing a dilute kerosene soap emulsion down into the ground, and for the adults in attracting them to lights placed over pans containing kerosene.
