What's Eating You? 7.20.12

Adult Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica Newman) seem to be hitting their peak right now.  Adults of these beetles feed on the foliage and flowers of over 300 species of plants.  I could write a lengthy article all about these beetles and how to manage them, but I'd be hard pressed to top Ohio State's Fact Sheet on the subject.  Check out their link below for all you ever wanted to know about Japanese Beetles in the home garden.
