Extreme closeup photograph of a Japanese beetle standing atop a pink and white striated gladiolus petals. The view is from above looking down and the beetle is in the upper left frame with its head near center frame and its body extended up and to the left. Japanese beetles have dark iridescent copper wing covers, an iridescent green thorax plate with a pitted surface, an iridescent green head with a wide mouth and a pitted surface, short segmented antennae that bifurcate at the tip, two large dark eyes on either side of the head, and six segmented legs that end in small hooks.
