This is the damage from Japanese beetles even with diligent Neem Max spraying. There was one on the harvest I just did and I ground her up in the garbage disposal. I don’t feel guilty at all! 🪲

We got those bag beetle traps for our garden and holy crap do they work. Haven’t had trouble with them since. The bags are great if you or someone you know has chickens. Have them bagged up to throw in their water to munch on.

😮 Chickens like those nasty beetles? I learn so much on this site!

Apprently yes, but only if they are in water from what I’m seeing
