Rain beetles spend most of their lives as larvae underground, burrowing up to twelve feet below the surface. Larvae can live between 7 and 14 years before they pupate into adulthood. They need at least seven instars, or developmental stages between molts, before they can pupate, but some may take more. [6]
Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study.

Most recent plant-eating beetles feed on flowering plants or angiosperms, whose success contributed to a doubling of plant-eating species during the Middle Jurassic. However, the increase of the number of beetle families during the Cretaceous does not correlate with the increase of the number of angiosperm species. [ 33 ]
The green June beetle is a Neartic species of beetle. It is commonly found in New York, Florida, Nebraska, and Texas.
