Japanese beetles arrived in the area about two weeks early this year, but they may not cause the damage growers are used to seeing each summer.There are some specialists who are saying, as dry as Hair bands are, there is a good chance the numbers will be down said Donna Aufdenberg, horticulture specialist for the Southeast Region of the University of Missouri Extension.

They sometimes feed on flower nectar and pollen, but they do not harm plants. Soldier beetles, despite their numbers, do not require any control.
