In beets and potatoes they open deep holes and tunnels. When cereals are attacked at an advanced stage, the grains in the ears are not well filled and are shriveled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enemy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The larvae reach up to 65 mm in length and are whitish in color on the anterior part and grey-blue on the posterior part. The head, three pairs of legs and thorax are light brown in color. Their shape resembles a hook and they have a thickened belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adults (beetles) reach 30 mm in length with a reddish-brown color, except for the head and thorax, which are black. The antennas are lamellar (ending in a fan-like shape). Melolontha hippocastani is slightly shorter than M. melolontha and has a black margin on its elytra (hard wings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A characteristic feature is the dark triangular germ between the elytra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cockchafer or May bug completes a generation every 3-5 years.
