Ewwww.
I remember hearing that question a thousand times, "What's eating you?" or maybe even, "What's bugging you?"
(sigh)
I got a bit too much insight on that today. What the heck happened? It got really hazy, hot and humid and I missed looking at my plants for a day? Look what happened...
Luckily the damage seemed confined to the sweet potatoes and the calla lilies. I did the total organic "thing". That is, I yelled and then shook the plant leaves. Beetles fly away pretty quick.
I'm keeping an eye out for a return.
That's a Japanese Beetle. Beautiful insect and a tremendous non-native pest.
