Chafer (Tutaeruru)

Costelytra zealandica

Description:

This little native Grass Grub chafer had a lucky escape from a spider. It managed to wriggle free and flew away. Chafers fly at dusk in summer. The elytra (wing cases) do not completely cover the abdomen so that a small terminal portion is left
