Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica)

They're back! THese beautiful scarab beetles, with their pretty metallic colours, are unfortunately, quite destructive to plants, voraciously eating their way through a variety of plants. In a garden they can be very noticeable, but in a natural setting, their depredations are barely noticeable.

What is on his head? These beetles turn my Canna Lilies Leaves into lacework. Is there any magical solution for them other than putting up a bait and trap.
