Biology Of The Japanese Beetle

Excerpt from Notes on the Biology of the Japanese Beetle In table 1 the adult is listed as a soil-inhabiting form. The reason for this is that, after transforming from pupae, beetles usually remain in the soil for several days, while their bodies and wing covers become hardened. During this short period they make up a considerable part of the soil population. Occasionally an older adult which has entered to lay eggs may be found in the ground late in the summer.
