'''''Polyphylla''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [scarab](/source/Scarabaeidae) [beetle](/source/beetle) includes more than 80 species distributed in [North America](/source/North_America) and [Central America](/source/Central_America), southern and central [Europe](/source/Europe), northern [Africa](/source/Africa), and Southern [Asia](/source/Asia) —from [Asia Minor](/source/Anatolia) to [Japan](/source/Japan). They typically reside in forests and orchards with most being identified by white [elytra](/source/elytra) scales forming stripes. The adult beetles are often attracted to lights. Polyphylla lay their eggs on soil near plants from where the [larva](/source/larva)e hatch and burrow down to the roots on which they will feed. They reach maturity in two to three years.
