In the past five years, this invasive pest has rampaged into McHenry County,  SE Wisconsin and northern IL. Japanese beetles feed 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 eat up trees and plants with abandon, leaving “skeletonized” leaves that resemble sewing lace. The bugs consume only the material between the veins.
