Animals Insects On Flowers
An Oriental beetle rests on a flower in Stowe, Vermont, on July 16, 2026. Native to eastern Asia, the beetle was introduced to the United States in the early 20th century and is now considered a pest species, with its larvae feeding on the roots of turfgrass while adults feed on flowering plants such as roses and petunias.
