Japanese beetles are slightly different from English ones because they have horns, to fight with other insects and each other. There are two types of beetles: there's a beetle that has one long horn, and there's another beetle that has two horns that snap together so that they can attack other things. And the one with one horn is on picture 1, and the one with two horns on each side is on picture 4.
and apparently the one with one horn has a mini horn above the long horn.

Hi Sean,
Did you see these at a museum? Or have you seen some real ones outside, at the park maybe. I can only think of 1 beetle in England with horns - the stag beetle, which is black and has 2 that are more like crabs claws than horns. Your Japanese ones have horns like rhinoceros!
