Do June bugs only come out in June?
Only 1 year is required for these beetles to complete their life cycle. They overwinter as grubs that may become active on warm winter days. They increase their activity in the spring, and in June pupate in earthen cells several centimeters underground. The pupal stage lasts about 18 days; adults appear in July and August. In mid-summer, adults lay eggs underground in earthen balls. Each female lays 60 to 75 eggs over a span of about 2 weeks. When the egg is first laid, it is pearly white and elliptical (1.5 mm by 2.1 mm). It gradually becomes more spherical as the larva inside develops. About 18 days after the eggs are laid, they hatch into small, white grubs. The newly hatched larva is 8 mm long and grows to a length of about 40 mm. Whitish with a brownish-black head, the grub has conspicuous brown spiracles along the sides of its body. The larvae molt twice before winter. The third larval stage lasts nearly 9 months, after which pupation occurs. At night, the larvae may be found on the ground crawling on their backs. This curious form of locomotion is peculiar to the green June beetle.The brown pupa, approximately the same shape as the adult, becomes metallic green just before the adult emerges. It is about 15 mm long and 15 mm wide.back to

Beetles breathe through a complicated structure of tubes (called tracheae and tracheoles) and air sacs. Oxygen is pulled into the body through openings in their abdomens called spiracles. Once the oxygen has been pulled in, the outer most vents close and the air is forced into increasingly smaller pipes known as tubules, until it reaches the required cells.

What type of ladybird is poisonous?
Ladybirds (sometimes known as Ladybugs) are a family of small rounded, brightly coloured beetles. The scientific name for the family is Coccinellidae.
In nature most predators associate bright colours (especially orange and black or yellow and black) with poison and other unpleasant properties, and in fact most coccinellids are poisonous to smaller predators such as lizards and small birds and other insects.
The toxin is in the blood of the ladybird but as a defense mechanism it can be squirted out of pores in the exo-skeleton - particularly through joints in the legs. The strength of the toxin can vary with the age of the ladybird, the diet that it eats and the species.
A human would have to eat at least several hundred before feeling any effects other than a bad taste.
