FILE - In this July 25, 2003, file photo, a Japanese beetle makes its way up a leaf it has helped skeletonize in Columbus, Ind. North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring is urging people who buy nursery stock to check for Japanese beetles. The beetles have been found in North Dakota every year since 2012, but Goehring says officials don't believe large numbers of the pest are yet in the state. The Agriculture Department also is seeking volunteers to help place traps around the state. (Joe Harpring/The Republic via AP, File)
