If your property has random dead patches, or leaves on your trees look like someone attacked them with a scissors, chances are you can thank Japanese beetles.
In the past five years, this voracious pest has rampaged into Zion, southeast WI and northern IL. Japanese beetles feast on more than three hundred plants. Rose bushes and grape vines are among their favorites.
Japanese beetles are about a half-inch in length. Their metallic-green bodies are partly covered by bronze-colored wings. They attack consume trees and plants with abandon, leaving “skeletonized” leaves that resemble sewing lace. The bugs feed on only the material between the veins.
Japanese beetles are the most far-flung turf-grass pest in the U.S. - including Zion. Adults tunnel into grass to lay eggs. The hatched grubs in the lawn devour the roots of grasses and other plants. Brown tracks or large spots result.
