History of June Bug Day

Insects are often considered pests, but they play an important role in ecosystems. They pollinate plants, help break down organic matter, and provide food for other animals. There are over 1 million different species of insects, which make them become the most diverse group of animals on the planet. Insects can be found everywhere in the world, from the coldest Polar Regions to the hottest deserts.

Most insects are harmless to humans, but some can carry diseases or damage crops. However, the benefits of insects are far from the negatives. They play an essential part in the food chain and perform many valuable functions in the environment.

June bug is often confused with beetles, but they are actually a type of cricket. June bug can be identified by their red and black colors, and they are most commonly found in the eastern United States. June Bugs are attracted to light, so they are often seen flying around porch or street lights at night.

Actually, June Bug Day takes place in June. This is the month when June Bugs, a member of the Phyllophaga genus, which includes more than 260 new world beetle species, tends to be most active. This is because they emerge from the ground at this time of year and look for food and mates. They can stay in the ground as larvae for up to three years. Adults are about an inch or so in length, have hard black or brown shells, as well as wings. During the day they hide in trees, but at night they tend to form groups and are strongly attracted to light. This is also when they feed, mainly consisting of trees and bushes.

You can only indulge in this wonder, but if you have a lizard or toad, you may want to give them a special treat for a meal, a June bug.
