Common Cockchafer
Common cockchafers spend their first 3 to 5 years below ground, growing as larvae. Then, all at once, these beetles emerge as adults in great numbers during spring. They clumsily buzz about, using their frilly antennae to find mates and reproduce — they live for only 6 weeks in this form.
