While I was disposing of Japanese beetles who love my Winged Elm, I found this munching away.

This guy's looking a little ruff but seemed to fly just fine.

Yes, it does seem like there numbers are down from past years, but when people see my Elm they ask me what's wrong with it because the Japanese beetles. Since the beetles defense is falling away from the attacker (me), I hold a soapy bowl of water underneath them, and rate their Olympic diving ability.
That sucks @damiano68 seems like we've had them in Michigan since the late 1990's. Hopefully you have a predator or two that will eat them.
Sì, sembra che i numeri siano in calo rispetto agli anni passati, ma quando la gente vede il mio Olmo mi chiede cosa c'è che non va a causa degli scarabei giapponesi. Dato che la difesa degli scarabei si sta allontanando dall'attaccante (io), tengo una ciotola piena di acqua saponata sotto di loro e valuto la loro abilità di tuffo olimpico.
Che schifo, @damiano68 sembra che li abbiamo avuti nel Michigan dalla fine degli anni '90. Spero che tu abbia uno o due predatori che li mangeranno.
I had seen zero Japanese beetles until last week and all of the sudden there are thousands. They seem to be guided directly to my wisteria for some reason. Fortunately it just keeps pumping out more foliage because in a matter of two days the beetles decimated the plant.

In more way than one.

Would this be called buggy style?
No one needs to see that. Let them have some privacy.
I found these on a zelkova. The other trees seem ok - other than one leaf on a European hornbeam that had some aphids - Some neem took care of that!
One nice thing about this thread is it ‘reminds’ me to check the leaves closely every now and then!
