Thanks for the excellent picture of a Japanese beetle, and for the many other great pictures you have provided as well! A couple of years ago, I had a heavy infestation of ladybug-like Beetles (except the spots seemed different) on many of my plants. I didn't want to spray an insecticide, but they were obviously devouring all of the leaves (unlike ladybugs, which eat the bad insects, these WERE the bad insects). I spent a few hours online searching for an ID to differentiate between ladybugs and all of their look-alikes, but just ran out of time before I found the culprits, although a preliminary guess was asparagus beetle (and also elm leaf Beetles, which seemed much less damaging). read more ...

My crabapple tree has a large infestation of japanese Beetles and they have eaten approximately 50 percent of the leaves. Questions: Is this likely to cause long-term damage to the tree? Does this mean that I will likely have a large population of grub worms in my lawn? If so, will they cause damage yet this year, or will I see the damage in June of next year? Is there anything I should be doing now for either the tree or the lawn? Thanks, Bob ... Source: www.eurekalert.org --- 1 day ago

Japanese beetle There's a discussion in a blog post lower on the page. One of the questions is identifying whether the pest in your yard is actually the Japanese beetle or something else. Here's a good photo from lgseeds.com. -- Craig ...
Clouds of Beetles swarmed over a wetland meadow at Brookwood Community Farm last Thursday. The tiny, winged creatures latched onto clusters of plants and began to munch away on the plants’ leaves. In some spots, the Beetles nearly covered the purple flowers adorning the tops of the thickly spread greenery. The Beetles were taking over—and that’s exactly what the Neponset River Watershed Association is hoping for. Purple loosestrife is engulfing big sections of the Neponset River watershed. But the Canton-based watershed association, the state Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Wetlands Restoration Program are fighting back—with Beetles. For the second time this summer, officials and volunteers released thousands of Galerucella Beetles, which exclusively eat purple loosestrife, a particularly invasive plant species with purple flowers that form a cone-like shape, somewhat resembling lilac. And while the plants might look attractive, they are forcing out native species, such as spiraea, cattails,aster or elderberry that have longed thrived in the same wetland meadows the loosestrife is trying hard to take command over. “Once purple loosestrife establishes a foothold in a local wetland, it spreads until it dominates and essentially crowds out the native wetland vegetation relied upon by native wildlife,” according to the watershed association’s Web site, www.neponset.org. The watershed association, which works to pre ...
