What do Japanese green beatles eat?

Answer 1

Blossoms, flowers and fruit are what Japanese green beetles (Strigoderma arbicola) eat.

Specifically, adult Japanese green beetles, which also are called false Japanese beetles, feed on light or white colored blossoms. They favor the foliage, flowers and fruits of the blackberry. But they also like the plant body parts of clover, coreopsis, hollyhock, honeysuckle, iris, lilies, peonies, and vegetables such as beans, cantaloupe, corn, cucumbers and peas.

In their larval stage, Japanese green beetles are thought to feed on corn, grass, potatoe, streawberry and sweet potato roots.

Answer 2

Japanese green beetles primarily feed on sap, plant juice, fruit, and flowers. Some species of green beetles may also consume leaves, nectar, or pollen as part of their diet.
