It is mostly on the wing in July. The Garden Chafer {Phyllopertha horticola), is a day- flier, and often in large numbers. It is the smallest of the four, and is green and reddish-brown in colour. The larva does harm to grass land, and the adults pay attention to the foliage of beans, peas, roses, turnips, etc. The pretty Rose Chafer {Cetonia aurata), is bright green, marked with white on the wing-cases. It flies during May and June on bright days, and unfortunately does damage to the flowers and foliage of raspberries, 47.
