Why is the Japanese beetle a worse pest in the US than in Japan?

That they have no native natural enemies and that they over-compensate are reasons why Japanese beetles are worse pests in the United States of America than in Japan.
Specifically, the insect in question (Popillia japonica) does not constitute a pest in Japan because of domestication (they are sold in pet stores) and due to the existence of natural controls. But Japanese beetles find themselves in a different environment in the United States. They react to a different environment of diverse food chains and predator-prey interactions by over-compensating and over-competing.
