Der Japankäfer (Popillia japonica) ist ein ursprünglich aus Asien stammender Vertreter der Familie der Scarabaeidae (Blatthornkäfer). Er ernährt sich von mehr als 300 Wirtspflanzen, darunter beispielsweise Obstgehölze, Gemüse, Ackerkulturen und holzige sowie krautige Zierpflanzen. Die Art gilt als invasiv (→ Verbreitung und Verschleppung); die EU führt den Japankäfer (2019 mit 19 weiteren Organismen) als „prioritären Quarantäneschädling“; er ist meldepflichtig.
