Early detection of hitchhiking pests requires the identification of strategic entry points via transport. Our @INRAE_DPT_SPE team has developed a framework for achieving this in continental Europe for #PopilliaJaponica / #JapaneseBeetle: https://t.co/J2BHxOHKz1

We are so happy to be in Ponta Delgada for the @IPMPopillia GA! 🥳 🇵🇹
Franziska Straubinger opens this GA with the TUM team work and results on WP4. Very interesting to hear about yield loss, cost of control measures and more.
Great work! 👏

Happy to have brought the discussion on Popillia japonica to the symposium held at the XXVII International Congress of Entomology in Kyoto. @CREARicerca @IPMPopillia

Since the Japanese beetle was first spotted in Northern Italy in 2014, it has progressively expanded its range, and population levels have increased.

Check out these origami insects made by Yoshinori Shintani, an entomologist and artist.
Each one of these insects has been made by hand by this man over a month, taking between 6 and 8 hours each. 👏
How beautiful! 🦋
My first Popillia japonica obs in Japan.🪲😉
