Green June Beetle -- When I was a little girl, I collected some fat white grubs for fish bait. I kept them in a big coffee can in some soil. Some time later, I dug into the soil and couldn't find my grubs. But I did find some hard things that looked like balls of dirt. I opened them up, and inside were these beetles. That is how I learned where these beetles came from.
