	Japanese beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) is a beetle about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) long and 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide (smaller in Canada), with shiny copper-colored elytra and a shiny green top of the thorax and head.
		It is thought that beetle larvae entered the United States in a shipment of iris bulbs prior to 1912 when inspections of commodities entering the country began.
		The life cycle of the beetle is typically 1 year in most parts of the United States, but this can be extended in cooler climates; for instance, in its native Japan, the beetle's life cycle is 2 years long as a result of the higher latitudes of the grasslands required for the larval stage.

	Japanese beetle
		Japanese beetles are one of the most common pests in Northeast gardens.

	Control of Japanese Beetle with Parasites
		The Japanese beetle is not considered a significant pest in its native Japan, where natural enemies of the beetle, including insect parasitoids (parasites whose offspring eat the host or prey), pathogens, and predators significantly increase the mortality of the beetle.
		The purpose of this guidesheet is to help persons and agencies interested in sustainably suppressing populations of the Japanese beetle to establish the spring Tiphia and optimize the wasps’ reproductive potential for maximum control through the use of habitat modification by planting known food plants that the wasps favor.
		The suppression of Japanese beetle populations by the spring Tiphia in outbreak areas ahead of, and along the advancing beetle front can minimize the amount of feeding damage caused and also slow the spread of the beetle.

		Individual beetles survive as adults for several weeks, and their longevity, coupled with the long interval over which emergence occurs, means that they are present for 2 months or more in some areas.
		Japanese beetle traps are sold under the claim that they attract and remove enough beetles to meaningfully reduce the nearby population and protect surrounding plants.
		They do catch a lot of beetles, so they do in fact reduce the local population, but the magnitude of that reduction is usually small.
