The Japanese beetle is the gardener's worst nightmare, and it is proliferating in the Madison area, according to Phil Pellitteri, an insect expert for the University of Wisconsin.

"This is a superstar as far as being a pest," he said.

The metallic green and copper beetles have been wreaking havoc in local gardens, golf courses and swimming pools in recent years, and many say they are even worse this summer.

The beetle has been marching -- and flying -- toward the Midwest for decades, since it first appeared in the ...
