    Two men wearing purple nitrile gloves are handling a black plastic bag over what appears to be a white container or cooler near a piece of red equipment. The man on the left is wearing a USDA-branded black shirt and sunglasses, suggesting an official government agricultural or inspection role. The setting appears to be an outdoor work area with a chain-link fence and trees in the background.

    Darryl Moore (left), U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine representative and state plant health director, and Kenneth Barnes, 436th Civil Engineer Squadron pest management section supervisor, unpack approximately 500 frozen dead Japanese beetles Aug. 9, 2018, at Dover Air Force Base, Del. The base was selected by the USDA as a test site for Japanese beetle population reduction by introducing a single cell, fungal-like pathogen to reduce the fecundity or reproductive capability of the beetle.

    Two men wearing purple nitrile gloves are handling a black plastic bag over what appears to be a white container or cooler near a piece of red equipment. The man on the left is wearing a USDA-branded black shirt and sunglasses, suggesting an official government agricultural or inspection role. The setting appears to be an outdoor work area with a chain-link fence and trees in the background.
    A pair of gloved hands wearing purple/blue nitrile gloves are holding a large collection of dead beetles. The beetles appear to have iridescent dark green, black, and copper-toned exoskeletons, consistent with Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica). This appears to be a pest management or research context given the use of protective gloves and the quantity of collected specimens.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are performing grounds maintenance work in an open grassy field, likely on or near an airfield. They are using hand tools such as shovels to remove or plant small trees/shrubs. Two orange utility vehicles (appearing to be Kubota RTVs) are parked nearby to support the work.
    Three individuals, including two U.S. Air Force personnel in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage and one civilian, are working outdoors in a grassy field near a small pine tree. The two military members are wearing purple nitrile gloves and appear to be collecting soil or environmental samples, while the civilian holds a shovel. An orange utility vehicle is visible in the background.
    Three individuals are conducting what appears to be a soil sampling or environmental testing activity on a grassy area adjacent to an airfield tarmac. Two are wearing U.S. Air Force camouflage uniforms, while a third person in civilian attire with a visible badge observes. A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft bearing tail number 7173, assigned to the 436th AW and 512th AW, is parked on the tarmac in the background.
