- Japanese Beetle
Japanese beetles have become established in the Denver metro region in Colorado. The adult feed on over 300 types of plants. The larva feed on the roots of plants and can be very harmful to sod and lawns.
Since 2006, Japanese beetle has spread along the Front Range and is now well established. Jeffco Invasive Species Management is supporting a statewide effort to better understand this insect’s habits.
