Additional text on item: The Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica Newm.). The colored illustration shows the beetle magnified about 4 1/2 times; the smaller figure shows its natural size. The insect is about the size of a potato beetle, but slightly longer. The head and thorax are shining bronze green in color, with the wing covers tan or brownish, tinged with green on the edges. Along the sides of the abdomen are white spots, with two very distinct white spots at the tip of the abdomen, below the wing covers.
