taking the milkweed beetle for the
Japanese beetle and as a result
many reports are being made Of the
beetle. Mr.. Cranston said that while
the two beetles are alike in size and
coloring, the milkweed beetles
wings cover the entire body, while
the wings of the Japanese beetle are

two round markings in the rear Of
