Flower Beetle

There are several species of beetles referred to as flower or fruit beetles. The adults come in a variety of colours and sizes, usually between 10 and 55 mm long. The larvae are known as white grubs (15-35 mm long), are often found in soil or compost.

The larger fruit and flower beetles cause feeding damage on flowers, fruits and leaves of almost any plant. Some prefer damaged fruit, while others will wound areas to feed themselves. Flower beetles can cause severe damage on prized roses and other flowering plants. The white grub larvae feed on organic material in the soil.
