Report Japanese Beetle Sightings
​
You can help protect Washington by reporting Japanese beetle sightings! Keep an eye open while you are outdoors. Roses are their favorite snack, but they will eat over 300 different types of plants. If you think you see one, get a close photo of the beetle. Visit agr.wa.gov/beetles to report it, or email the photo to pestprogram@agr.wa.gov. Your report could help us stop the spread of this invasive pest.
