The larvae of C. giveni tend to feed on fine roots of pasture plants like perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and white clover (Trifolium repens). Originally, only native species of grasses such as tussocks were affected, but they have subsequently adapted to feed on the exotic species that have been brought into New Zealand, as their abundance ...

Tortoise eating clover plant Red and white clover contains a lot of protein, but it’s safe to feed in moderation (except for Mediterranean tortoises which require a low-protein diet for healthy ...
Adult chafers eat the leaves and flowers of many deciduous trees, shrubs, and other plants. However, white grubs (reaching 40–45 mm long when full grown) live in the soil and feed on plant roots, especially those of grasses and cereals, and are occasional pests in pastures, nurseries, gardens, and golf courses. An obvious indication of ...
