It is responsible for a disease (commonly called milky spore) of the white grubs of Japanese beetles. The adult Japanese beetles pupate in July (in the Northeast United States) and feed on flowers and leaves of shrubs and garden plants. During this adult stage, the beetles also mate and the females lay eggs in the soil in late July to early August.
Some grubs pack a triple whammy. They infest plant roots. Predators shred the lawn for grubs. And those that become Japanese beetles ravage plants.

Anomala albopilosa, known by the common names green chafer, white-haired leaf chafer and sugarcane white grub, is a species of chafer beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It was originally described in the genus Euchlora by Frederick William Hope in 1839. [ 1 ]
In late autumn and during winter, they retreat down from the top 5 cm of soil and burrow down between 50–200 mm into the soil. During this phase, the grubs undergo a colour change from grayish/white into a yellow/cream colour. Once they reach the appropriate depth, the grub empties its stomach and starts to form a smooth oval shaped cell.
