Grapevine Beetle

This is a Grapevine Beetle, Pelidnota punctata.

We have no grapevines in the yard. And I'm not aware of any in the area. And the adults feed on grape foliage and fruit.

So what is it doing in our yard?


Other than hanging on the moth sheet, I don't know.

Maybe it was just passing through?


It is also called the "Spotted June Bug", which is a much better name, as it does have spots. And I did see it in June. And most people would call it a bug.

I hope it finds some grapes. We do have some in the fridge ...
