A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Popillia japonica
Beetle-like insect with small white protrusions on its posterior surface where its dorsal and ventral surface meet. It would raise its back legs up (the pair) when I approached closely with a camera.
They were eating the leaves on an American hazelnut shrub.
Hi Kevin! Nice spotting. I removed it from the Signs of Wildlife mission as that mission is not for organisms themselves but just for evidence that they were around. Thanks!
