Those metallic green pests

Japanese beetles are active in our area.  These beetles are easily recognized by their relatively large size, about a half inch in length, and showy colors.  The fore wings, also called hard-wing coverings, are bronze to coppery-brown in color.  The head and the middle part of the body are a metallic green. 

Japanese beetles are voracious leaf feeders.  They have been known to feed on 350 plant species.  Their favorite plants include rose, hollyhock, hibiscus, linden, maple, viburnum, grape, raspberry, apple, and cherry.
