[00:00:01.260]One of the serious pest problems we have
[00:00:03.670]is the Japanese beetle
[00:00:05.150]and he can make lacework out of your leaf.
[00:00:09.360]Kind of a pretty little animal,
[00:00:11.330]but he eats an awful lot, or she, whichever it is,
[00:00:15.530]eats an awful lot of foliage
[00:00:18.380]and if enough foliage is damaged,
[00:00:21.430]then the vine can't grow in its normal way.
[00:00:28.060]And so it's necessary to control them
[00:00:31.820]and use of pheromone traps is a no-no
[00:00:36.580]because that just attracts more of them.
[00:00:44.330]And as you can see, they're a fair size,
[00:00:47.730]about 1/8 of an inch or 1/4 of an inch long
[00:00:53.270]and about 3/8 of an inch wide.
[00:00:56.040]Shiny copper-appearing carapace.
