Wow, Allan, The Japanese beetles must have hatched out here (south of you).
In this part of the Shenandoah Valley I think we had two hatchings this
season. Our chickens are getting a daily beetle feed from our traps. We
empty our beetles into the chicken's water.

Still not much activity on the farm. I put up my first trap today, but only to get the single beetles that have taken after the dahlia blossoms. I hear from the hardware store, though, that other people are not so lucky! Good luck!
