The Japanese Beetle is a very destructive beetle. It was imported from Asia.
They lay their eggs in soil and grassy areas. The larvae then feed on the root
of the plants or grass. By midsummer to early fall adults will emerge. Japanese
beetles do great damage to plants in the rose family. They will damage both the
leaves and the flowers. To control the damage from these beetles large areas
must be treated or the beetles will just re-infest from the surrounding areas.
Japanese beetles are prone to a bacterial disease known as Milky Disease.
Various parasitic wasps and other flies also help to control the Japanese
beetle population. |
