My Enemy Exposed
I have been at battle for the last three weeks. Great fluorescent hoards of barbed green meanies have endeavored to devour the labor of my hands. How is one to fight back an enemy that seems to be immune to all bug killing remedies. Ok, everybody tells me Seven will work. Yes, but I can't use that because of the pets and kids. My, roses my poor poor roses.
This fellow is in full fighting pose
Here is one they seem to have overlooked.
Gratefully they seem to have abated. Soon the youngin's will be leaving for a weeks stay in the great State of Florida and I will renew my attack with the Diaz iz az iz ..... oh, whatever, poison and kill the little grubs trying to bed down in my comfy lawn for the winter. HA! I'll get them and their little friends the sand fleas too.
Imagine a Mad Scientist insanely laughing.

Great shots of those nasty fellows!
Goodluck with the annihilation of them.
Holy guacamole, those look nasty!!! Bad bugs, bad bugs!
@Momizzle18 - that is a Japanese Beetle. Nasty pests that eat holes in your bloosoms and greenery. They will stackup in heaving great lumps of buggishness and destroy your garden in a matter of days. Bah on them.
I'm with you! Japanese beetles are not welcome on my property either! Oooooooh I have traps upon traps and still go around with cans of gasoline, rejoicing for every one that I drop into the lethal mixture.
Great photos my friend!

@sarahsD - Thanks. Do you have a problem w/ Japanese Beetles in the Uk or Australia? They won't kill the plant but the disfigurement of the leaves and flowers is painful to see.
@tkperito - hmm I don't know. I will go and google that too.
