Japanese Beetles

Japanese Beetles are six-legged oval creatures. Most distinctively, they have metallic green bodies and metallic copper-colored wings. They are usually about a half-inch to an inch long. Japanese Beetles have a squarish-shaped head and two short antennae. They often travel in large groups.

 

The larvae are about an inch long, white, and will curl up into a "c" shape when disturbed.

​

The Japanese Beetle will eat all kind of plants- from trees and flowers to weeds.  They will eat grass roots, quickly destroying a lawn.  They can cause large amounts of damage in a short period of time, as they like to travel and feed in groups.
