Japanese Beetles are not that rare in Kings County. I have =0A=
photographed a few & have noted 1-2 others. I seem to recall that =0A=
Nancy Dowd photographed one either on the South Shore (or near East Dalho=

Does anyone know offhand how common the =0A=
Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) is in NS ? I found one =0A=
yesterday in a flower garden (Kentville) the first I had seen since=

I started collecting beetles in 1960 [ and in most habitats except =

Hi David (and David)...=0A=

=0A=
I reported a single P. japonica=2C found and photographed at Roaches Po=
nd =0A=
in Spryfield (nowhere near the train station or Westin Hotel!) to Andre=
w =0A=
Hebda at the NS Museum last year (see =0A=
http://imaginaturestudio.blogspot.ca/2014/09/an-unpleasant-discovery.ht=
ml =0A=
for the whole sordid story).=0A=
=20
=0A=
This year I found another single beetle at the same site on August 2nd =
=0A=
with another one seen on the 5th. But on the 17th=2C I hit the jackpot =
(not a =0A=
lottery I want to win). I ventured up to a spot that I rarely go...the =
small =0A=
meadow behind the ball field above and away from the pond...and found l=
arge =0A=
numbers of them (>12 dozen or so=2C including more than 10 mating pairs=
). =0A=
It was disturbingly easy to find places to get 4 to 6 beetles in single=
=0A=
photos so it appears that they're doing well here...which is not a good=

thing.=0A=
