Just what we need... another critter to deal with. Maybe they don't like hot weather and won't come south. Maybe y'all will have a hellacious winter and it will wipe out the SLF.

So far I've only found several Japanese beetles this year where last year there were swarms of them. Hopefully the ones I found and killed were the scouts and no more will come. Hmmm, that'll be the day. But one can hope.

Edited to add: Well, it looks like cold weather probably won't be cold enough. Interesting article with pics:
