Further Information
The fruit beetle can be found in both Japan and the northeastern United States. It is also known as the Japanese Beetle. As larvae, they have six legs, and when resting form a C-shape. While in the game they are found on trees, they are actually found on flowers. Their favorite fruits are figs and peaches, and they also enjoy eating flowers. They are considered a pest insect in gardens, as they tend to infest flowers such as lilies. They make a chirping sound, which sounds similar to the noise that bees make.
