Rose chafer — size comparison — facts and sources

The rose chafer visits flowers in meadows, scrub and gardens. Adults are easiest to observe during warm, sunny weather.

Larvae eat decaying plant material, developing in substrates rich in organic remains, including rotting wood. After growth they pupate, and adults leave their sheltered developmental sites to feed on flowers.
