It is with chewing mouthparts, powerful saliva, and two sets of jaws that a Japanese beetle eats.

Specifically, the insect in question (Popillia japonica) enjoys feeding on a plant's foliage. The adult Japanese beetle has powerful mouthparts which can render a lush plant's leaves skeletonized in less than 15 minutes. The beetle's larval stage relishes doing the equivalent underground to a plant's roots.
