Pale and Green Leaf Chafers
Anomala
Field notes
Anomala is a genus of shining leaf chafers in the scarab beetle family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 1,100 described species in Anomala, found in every continent except Antarctica.
A common characteristic behavior of beetles in Anomala is that most grubs of these species feed on the roots of grasses, becoming a pest in many areas where they invade. One notable species is the Oriental beetle (Anomala orientalis), which was introduced to North America and has since become a major pest in several mid-Atlantic states.
