Phyllophaga idonea
Phyllophaga idonea is a species of May beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, described by Sanderson in 1948. Like other members of the genus Phyllophaga, it belongs to a highly diverse group of scarab beetles with over 400 species in North America. Species in this genus are typically nocturnal as adults, with larvae feeding on plant roots in soil. The specific biology and ecology of P. idonea remain poorly documented compared to some congeners.
