Brand New 2.5" Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) Amber-color Resin Pendant NO NECKLACE INCLUDED PENDANT ONLY. The insect in the image is a Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica), a common pest in the United States. Here are some key facts about them: Description: Adults are about 0.5 inches long with metallic green bodies and bronze-colored wing covers. They have small tufts of white hair along their sides. Larvae are white, C-shaped grubs that live in the soil. Damage: Adult beetles feed on over 300 species of plants, including trees, shrubs, and garden plants. They eat leaves, flowers, and sometimes fruits, often leaving behind a skeletonized appearance. Grubs feed on grass roots, causing turf to brown and die. Life Cycle: Adults emerge in late June or early July. Females lay eggs in the soil, which hatch into grubs. Grubs feed on roots until fall, then overwinter in the soil. In spring, they move up to feed again before pupating into adults. Control: Handpicking beetles or using soapy water can help reduce populations. Insecticide sprays or parasitic nematodes can control adults and larvae. Traps may attract more beetles to the area and are not always effective. Additional Information: Japanese beetles are not native to the U.S. and were first discovered in 1916. They have spread throughout most of the Eastern and Central United States. They are considered a serious pest that can cause significant damage to plants and lawns.
