A MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE COMMON JUNE BEETLE, PHYLLOPHAGA ANXIA (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE), IN SOUTHERN QUEBEC

Abstract
Blacklight traps were used for monitoring flight activity of Phyllophaga anxia (LeConte) in southern Quebec. Adults began flying during the last 3 weeks of May and flight terminated about the end of June, depending on the season and the locality. The adults required approximately 176 degree-days accumulated above a base of 5 °C for flying to commence. Peak flight occurred late in May or in early June. Both sexes were attracted to blacklight traps.
