Female beetles burrow from 25 to 100 mm (1 to 4 inches) below the surface of the soil to deposit their eggs, which hatch in about 14 days. The larvae live the entire winter below the surface of the ground in this stage, feeding on the tender roots of plants. During May the larvae ...
After the male and female beetles mate, the female will go underground to lay the eggs. Typically, they do not become larvae (or grub) for several weeks. Without proper control measures, the adult can damage plant life in the area. Diet: What Do Japanese Beetle Eat? The Japanese beetle ...
Japanese Beetles: A Method of Rearing Larvae In the FieldLawrenceK. O.KleinM. G.LaddT. L.FioriB. J.Journal of Economic Entomology
Bacillus popilliae and Bacillus lentimorbus, causative agents of milky disease in Japanese beetle and related scarab larvae, have hitherto been differentiated based upon a small number of phenotypic characteristics, but they have not previously beenexamined at the molecular level. In this study 34 iso...
The diets were exposed to the larvae on filter paper and were evaluated based on the criteria of development time, percentage prepupation, and percentage transformation to adults. Diets that had choline chloride, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid gave best results; the role of vitamins and Wesson...

Fireflies are well-known bioluminescent beetles (Coleoptera: Lampyri- dae) of great cultural significance, especially in Japan. A selection of online museum collections, art databases, and dealer websites were used to find artwork featuring fireflies, with an emphasis on Japanese ukiyo-e wood block...
