Worksheet – Japanese Beetle Populations Population Japanese Beetle Population: Each Female lays approximately __50____ eggs per year Life Cycle: _Complete: Egg, Larva, Pupae, Adult_________________ Damaging Stages ____Adult__ and ______Larvae________ Larval Stage Name _____White Grub_____________ Damages ___Larvae feed on roots below the ground; often the wounds left lead to disease transmission
in the plant. Adults feed on foliage, very destructive. Use the following to determine the population increase for Japanese beetles. 1 Female x 50 Offspring = _____ x 50 cycle two = _____________ ___________x 50 cycle 3 = _______________ x 50 cycle 4 = _______________ ___________x 50 cycle 5 = _______________ x 50 cycle 6 = _______________ ___________x 50 cycle 7 = _______________ x 50 cycle 8 = _______________ ___________x 50 cycle 9 = _______________ x 50 cycle 10= _______________ If one bat can consume 1,000 insects per night, how many generations would the bat consume in one
week? Show your work!
