Where do the June Beetle, Giant Water Beetle, Red Ant, Silk Worm Pupae live?
June beetles (genus Phyllophaga), belonging to the widely distributed, plant-feeding subfamily Melolonthinae (family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera). These red-brown beetles commonly appear in the Northern Hemisphere during warm spring evenings and are attracted to lights. Think the US and Europe. There is a giant water scavenger beetle, which is found in North America, and a giant water bug, which also is found in the US and Canada. Red Ant: Once again, the name is not specific. Red fire ants were inadvertantly imported from South America to the US. Red harvester ants are found in the US and Mexico. Red velvet ants are found worldwide. The domesticated Silk worms were developed in Asian countries, probably China or Japan.
