Green June beetle

What is a "green June beetle"?

A green June beetle is a striking beetle with a shiny green body and iridescent wings. It is most commonly seen during the warm summer months, often buzzing around gardens, orchards, and fields. The adults are attracted to ripe fruits and flowers, feeding on their nectar and causing damage to the crops. They are relatively large in size and emit a distinctive buzzing sound as they fly. The green June beetle has a short lifespan, but during its active period, it is a prominent and sometimes unwelcome visitor in many outdoor environments.
