In the past five years, this invasive pest has rampaged into Waukesha County, southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Japanese beetles attack on more than 300 plants. Rose bushes and grape vines are among their favorites.

Japanese beetles are about a half-inch long. Their metallic-green bodies are partly covered by bronze-colored wings. They attack feast on trees and plants with abandon, leaving “skeletonized” leaves that resemble sewing lace. The bugs eat only the material between the veins.
