They have three pairs of legs near the head and four pairs of prolegs near the rear. Quite active, they thrash violently at the slightest disturbance. The Japanese beetle has a metallic green body and coppery colored wing covers. Bordering the margins of these wing covers are twelve tufts of white hair. Grasshoppers are brownish-green with chewing mouthparts and jumping rear legs.
Wings are frequently a reddish to yellowish color or brown.
Two-spotted spider mites are more closely related to spiders than insects. They are either white, green or red with dark spots on both sides of their bodies. Life Cycle Bean leaf beetles overwinter as adults in leaf litter or other vegetation, primarily in wooded areas, and emerge in early spring. They feed on soybean leaves and a variety of other legumes, mate and lay eggs. Each female may lay 175 to 250 orange-colored eggs in clusters of ten to thirty in the soil at the base of soybean plants.
