Japanese Beetles

The annual invasion of Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica) hasn't been too destructive for the past few years, but they have scheduled a family reunion at our garden this year.

They tend to be picky eaters with their crop selection and prefer raspberries, eggplant and as seen in this photo, rhubarb.



A photo of one of our rhubarb plants. All that is left of some of leaves is the main stem and some veins.
