Invasive Japanese Beetles

Invasive Japanese Beetles

July 8, 2022 Elizabeth

Last year we saw a few of these beetles. This year, they were EVERYWHERE. covering some chokecherry bushes. We would squish them because they are invasive, but there’s just so many. According to the MI DNR, they are pervasive across the state now and their spread is no longer being tracked. Very frustrating that we keep being overrun by these invasive species.
