said, is potentially a greater
economic menace than the Jap
anese beetle because it is more
difficult to find and control.
Unlike the Japanese beetle
that lays eggs only m sod, the
chafer beetle is less selective.
Consequently, grubs stay un
derground for a year some
times two years feeding on
roots of winter grains and
other field plants and on roots
of grasses and legumes in
lawns and pastures.
Detection and control are
complicated by tbe nocturnal
habits oil tbe adult. They em
erge from the ground at dusk
almost with timetable pre
cision from mid-June to
early July. They swarm- like
bees around trees, poles or
similar objects. They mate and
at dawn return to the soil.
Since the adult seldom feeds,
control measures must be ai
med at destroying grubs ir
the ground, Nixon said. Thi
grub, white with a brown head,
is generally found feeding 01
roots at the edge of bare spoti
in lawns, pastures and grab
fields.
