Grapevine Beetle

Forests, woodlands, orchards, and vineyards, particularly where grapevines or other host plants are present.

Adults primarily feed on the foliage of grapevines and Virginia Creeper. Larvae feed on decaying wood and roots.

Nocturnal; adults are attracted to lights at night and are most active during the summer months. Larvae develop in decaying wood underground for up to two years.

Considered a minor pest of grapevines, as their feeding can defoliate plants if infestations are heavy. Generally not a significant threat to established vineyards. No risks to humans.
