When fully grown, in late spring the larvae pupate for a few weeks, each within a small cavity in the soil. They emerge as adults but stay underground for another year until the following spring, when they crawl to the surface to fly, mate, and lay eggs.
What time do may bugs come out?
Adult cockchafers only live for about 5 or 6 weeks. During that time, they look for a mate and fly into the tree tops to feed on leaves. They fly at dusk on warm evenings, making a noisy hum, and are attracted to light.
What are May bugs attracted to?
Large blundering insects are also known as May-bugs which are attracted to artificial light and fly into houses or collide with windows on warm evenings in May and June.
