Pests will find a way all right. Yesterday I found the first Japanese beetles, I was hoping they'd be late or maybe gotten lost and couldn't find me, lol. Back to reality....I catch quite a few each day in soapy water.

It's raining today and I was busy yesterday so didn't get to pick any JB's but tomorrow I will give them hell. I have to keep the levels low or they will get to the rose bush.

I found one Japanese Beetle on the Castor beans. He ate a small hole less then 1/2 inch in diameter, then disappeared. If they weren't so poisonous I could make an extract and spray the other things with it, might try it anyway on the rose.

Interesting .. I would never think about using a beetle to make an extract out of ... Let me know how it turns out if you try it ..

LOL, the proposed extract would be made from the castor bean leaves. Since they are so poisonous I decided not to handle them, don't need to be inhaling that in a spray mist
