Japanese Beetle

They are a serious pest of about 200 species of plants, including rose bushes, grapes, hops, canna, crape myrtles, birch trees, linden trees, and others.
But, they still have beautiful iridescent colors and markings.

I loathe these insects. They have murdered so many leaves in my yard... it now looks like fall instead of early summer at my place.
