Japanese beetle

The Japanese beetle is a species of scarab beetle. Due to the presence of natural predators, the Japanese beetle is not considered a pest in its native Japan. In North America and some regions of Europe, it is a noted pest to roughly 300 species of plants.

Some of these plants include roses, grapes, hops, canna, crape myrtles, birch trees, linden trees, and others.
