Knock it Off!!! 6-29-26

Breeding Japanese Beetles

Not my best shot ever.
However, I finally found out who has been chewing some of my plants into skeletons.
How dare they try to make more of their kind!!!

My goal (while I shot this with one hand) was to... well... err... ah... sigh...to eliminate them totally with my other hand. Not the easiest nor most pleasant multi-tasking task. I guess you could call the results motion blur and the end of a starting family.

If you look closely, this is a trifecta of breeding bugs, bug chomp marks on their perch, and bug poop.
The everyday world around us.
