Dag nabit buggers! I'm not sure if I hate them or aphids more!

Aphids I can deal with. These things are unstoppable!
Japanese beetles. I collect them in a plastic bag & freeze them for my chickens.

How do you get them in the bags?
@CraeftSmith you just pick them up
@btroje I don't have enough time to do that at an effective rate :/
@CraeftSmith Retired I have nothing but time. There are traps that attract them with pheromones. But I like gathering mass quantities in my restored prairie.
@Countrywoman
I had several large pitcher plants that I fed regularly with Japanese Beetles I collected off my plants They got huge!
Japs!

Not an acceptable word. Cracker!
@Countrywoman
Dinks!
@bigpawbullets Dual income no kids?
@Countrywoman
Um... yes, that's exactly it.
@bigpawbullets
Whatever label you slap on them, they are eating my Aroids! They are devouring my Callas from the inside out, and making hash out of my Amorphophallus and Arisaemas.
They can't die hard enough for me
@Leafhead
Went for a walk this morning.
Entrance path to our front door.
You're not alone in your fight.
@bigpawbullets
Ouch!
Yes... I am quickly being overrun by these little devil's. The traps fill up quickly. I joke that I am attracting them from my neighbors' yards

You could be attracting them. I read that the bait in the traps can attract them for up to a mile.
They look irritating.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
