Bella Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Could someone please help with ID of a bug. I think it's a June Bug/Beetle but I'm not certain. Seems that people are calling it cockchafer?? Maybe Melolontha - a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. The pic was taken in Canada and it was June I can't find how to post a pic though!! Do I need to wait until it is uploaded or is there a way to add photos that aren't online?

Bella Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I've uploaded to a website and now trying to copy to here. I still can't get it to work? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can just copy the link but I wanted to post the pic like you all have done. Edited July 9, 2020 by Bella Trying to add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Point your browser at the page with the image. Copy the image (e.g. right-click->Copy Image in Chrome), then paste it into your message here. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Thanks so much Alan, I just realised why it wouldn't work as Pixieset where I had posted it doesn't allow you to copy and paste so I've put it on Facebook and it will now work.

MizBrown Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 All I'm seeing is "Image may contain: plant, nature and outdoor". Facebook doesn't allow linking (just tried it with one of mine). I've uploaded things to Alamy where I wasn't sure of the ID. I don't know if it's necessary to have them on sale or not, but if so, you can always add the more specific information as soon as you have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Oh darn, it's working for me of course. Okay, I will upload it first and then ask. Thanks MizBrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Yours doesn’t look like a junebug to me. This one is what is commonly called June bug in my part of the USA. But maybe they have different forms of them. As a kid, I saw older kids tie a string on one of their legs and watch them fly in circles as they hung onto the other end, before letting them go. They lay eggs in the ground and as larvae, called grubs, they eat the roots of your lawn doing much damage in a heavy infestation.
