This research compared the genetic makeup of M. hippocastani to a different cockchafer beetle, the Melolontha melolontha. They demonstrated that both M. hippocastani and M. melolontha show considerable genetic diversity within subpopulations within sampling sites with minor effects of past bottlenecks possibly masked by current population sizes ...
There are nearly one million known species of insects on the planet and less than 1% are harmful to humans, livestock or plants. Unfortunately, the harmful bugs are the ones we talk about the most.
Amphimallon solstitiale, also known as the summer chafer or European june beetle, is a beetle similar to the cockchafer but much smaller, approximately 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in length. They are declining in numbers now, but where found they are often seen in large numbers.

Just 2% of Earth's 1 million known insect species are harmful to plants, animals or humans. Here are 10 that can damage your vegetable gardens.
Scarabiasis, or "beetle-disease", is a condition where beetles temporarily infest the digestive tract of other animals. It can also affect humans, and despite being a rare phenomenon, [ 1 ] it is the second most important insectal disease in humans after myiasis , which is caused by the larva of flies.
Common names for this genus and many other related genera in the subfamily Melolonthinae are May beetles, June bugs, and July beetles. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They range in size from 12 to 35 mm (0.47 to 1.38 in) [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and are blackish or reddish-brown in colour, without prominent markings, and often rather hairy ventrally.
