People named them June bugs because that was when the little pests started coming out: just as the ground was warm enough to produce delicious flowers for them to eat!
Insects don't respect human calendars or names. They live by atmospheric conditions and environmental factors. As long as it is warm enough for them to move about and find food, they will be around. Just usually long enough to decimate your roses and tomatoes.

It's just a name, silly
Summer is the time when people begin to notice large bright green beetles in their yard, called June Bugs or Green June Beetles.

There life cycle is controlled by temperatures so the ground has not been warm enough till now for them to come out.

Because they are bugs, and they don't know months
