The cockshafer Loved and hated: this big beetle is the star in many fairy tales and stories but is nevertheless fought hard from time to time. Underground life When the fully developed may beetle crawls out of the earth in the spring and flies away, it has been on it for most of its life.
This beetle spent three to four years underground in the larva stage.
The adult insect lives only four to six weeks. May beetle year This life cycle follows one with many beetles, the so-called beetle year, on three 'beetle-poor' years. Unfortunately, the little beetle is no longer as well represented here as in grandmother's times, when huge swarms occupied our fields, forests and meadows. The small difference In our regions there are 3 species of may beetles: the common may beetle, the sand chick beetle and the rare Melolontha pectoralis. You can tell the insects apart by their differently shaped and colored abdomens. Males and females can also be distinguished in this way.
Antenna Another way to distinguish may beetle males and females are the antennae. Those of the males are considerably larger and have 7 'leaves' per antenna, those of the females have 7. The antennae are equipped with smell sensors and thus form the nose of the beetle, as it were.
The male cockchafer seeks out the females. For this he uses the lamellae (leaves) on his antennae as an organ of smell. The smallest concentrations of odor can be detected with these slats. The females secrete pheromones (odorous substances), which are smelled by the males. When a male has found a female, they mate. During mating, the ends of the abdomen are connected. The male drops onto his back and is then dragged along by the female for a while. Beetles do not sit on top of each other unlike other insects. After mating, the female flies to the open field. There she burrows a few centimeters deep into the ground. She deposits about 20 eggs in the soil with the tip of her abdomen. The eggs are small (diam. 2-3 mm), oval-shaped and off-white in colour.
The cockchafer is a medium-sized beetle 2-3 cm, with reddish brown elytra and legs. He has a black body with a striking triangle pattern on both sides. The cockchafer has red-brown feelers. The thickening on the end of the feelers can fan out into lamellae (blades). The May beetle therefore belongs to the family of the leaf blade beetles. Engerling is a name for the larva of the May beetle. These are known because they feed on plant roots, especially grasses.
