DelMonico Dance studio was closed Thursday, according to a note on its Facebook page. The reason? The flu.

The leaves on your trees not looking as lush as they should? Japanese beetles have been spotted in the Twin Cities, including Woodbury. "They will feed on the leaves... they feed between the veins, a kind of feeding called 'skeletonizing.' They also feed on flower blossoms," University of Minnesota Entomologist Jeffrey Hahn told KARE 11. "They start coming out, basically, the first week of July. So, think of the Fourth of July when Japanese beetles will come out and then they are active for the rest of the summer. I mean, we will see them into September."
