Japanese beetles!

   Pesky invasive species... They florped their way into North America and started chowing down on it's native plants... Well, here are some I found here in Ohio! (Sadly, we can't ship them back to japan. -n-) The first two are the same one! I found her burning up on the hot sidewalk and moved her onto a cool shady plant, which she and her friends relentlessly devoured... She was very clingy, I had to hold her by the shell and place her on the plant as she wanted to rest on me instead. I managed to get her on, and took that photo. So, that's my post! :D (read the captions on the slideshow!)  See you on my next photography adventure!
