those are japanese beetles. they will destroy everything they touch. look into different methods of getting rid of them and choose one that you’re comfortable with asap!

for future reference you can tell they’re japanese beetles based off the white tufts on their sides, btw.

Thanks! I sprayed them off with a hose and then sprayed Neem Oil on the play until run off. Hoping that helps!

You’re absolutely right, they are Japanese beetles. I didn’t see their sides! The neem oil should help a lot!

You have Green June Beetles eating your plant. You can get Neem Oil and beetle traps!

Thanks! I’m hoping the Neem Oil helps!
