Abstract
Of four diets tested, one based on lima beans and casein was selected as the best and easiest for rearing third instars of Japanse beetles, Popillia. japonica. Newman. The diet gave the best survival and heavie st pupae and was previously used for rearing larvae of the New Zealand grass grub, Costelytra zealandica (White).
