The Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) is one of the most dreaded insects to have invaded North America and parts of Europe. Accidentally introduced to the United States in the early twentieth century, it can now be found from Vancouver to the Alps and beyond. Japanese beetles aren't picky eaters; they will happily consume more than 300 species of plants and trees, devastating crops and gardens.
