These +<\/u> 2 cm large beetles belong to the scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae)<\/em> and are mostly found in southern Europe and in the southern part of the United Kingdom, where they are sometimes very common locally.
\nThe Rose chafer has a distinctive green-gold color and the underside is hairy. Across the wingcases (elytra) are thin streaks of white hair.
\nThe Rose chafer can be found in forest edges and feeds on the leaves of flowers and pollen. Hawthorns, wild roses and elders are favorites.
\nThe larvae of the Rose chafer resemble chafer grubs<\/a>, the larvae of the cockchafer<\/a>. The larvae of the Rose chafer live on dead and decayed wood.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7187″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1672743104966{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
