Japanese Beetles are not that rare in Kings County. I have =
photographed a few & have noted 1-2 others. I seem to recall that Nancy =

Western Kings County where she has a cottage) either of which would =
extend the range a bit.

Thanks Phil,
Later today, shortly after having said I had seen only one in that =
garden, I saw four on a Rose bush; squashed three and one flew away.

Dear All, Aug 27, 2015
Does anyone know offhand how common the Japanese Beetle =
(Popillia japonica) is in NS ? I found one yesterday in a flower garden =
(Kentville) the first I had seen since I started collecting beetles in =
1960 [ and in most habitats except flower gadens].
A checklist of NS beetles, prepared by Chris Majka and dated =
Nov, 2003 shows it to have been collected in only two counties, Yarmouth =
and Halifax, but this may simply reflect the tendency to not collect =
common things.
Hi David (and David)...
I reported a single P. japonica, found and photographed at Roaches =
Pond in Spryfield (nowhere near the train station or Westin Hotel!) to =
Andrew Hebda at the NS Museum last year (see =
http://imaginaturestudio.blogspot.ca/2014/09/an-unpleasant-discovery.html=
for the whole sordid story).
This year I found another single beetle at the same site on August =
2nd with another one seen on the 5th. But on the 17th, I hit the jackpot =
(not a lottery I want to win). I ventured up to a spot that I rarely =
go...the small meadow behind the ball field above and away from the =
pond...and found large numbers of them (>12 dozen or so, including more =
than 10 mating pairs). It was disturbingly easy to find places to get 4 =
to 6 beetles in single photos so it appears that they're doing well =
here...which is not a good thing.
