The Japanese Beetle season is almost over.  I've only caught a few in my trap this week.

We sure have a lot of Japanese Beetles this year.

I found this on the internet today.

Female Japanese beetles will leave the plant that they are feeding on to find ideal conditions and soil to lay eggs in. The females will lay anywhere between 1 to 5 eggs throughout the area that they choose.

When done with this egg laying process, the females return to a food source to continue feeding until another mating cycle occurs where this process is repeated all over again. This process will repeat itself until the female lays over 40 eggs throughout her life cycle.

I found several Japanese Beetles on my plants today.
