One Bug I Hate...

is the Japanese Beetle. They eat everything. I had to remove some prime plants and trees because they would strip them bare. Traps can only do so much and none of my neighbors use milky spore. My use of it is more or less ineffective because of that.

Yes, a nuisance, but very striking and colorful bugs! Nice shot!

It is a very colourful beetle....... it's often the way isn't it,
the pretty one's seem to do the most damage

Love the white hairy patches along the body .... Skippy

Yes.... they dive bomb me every time I take my dog for a walk.

Great shot, I took one the other day and it looks like he's doing yoga. Guess I didn't sneak up on him, and he was trying to ward me off.

They are the quintessential pest but have beautiful colors. I've never noticed the white hair on them in my entire life until I saw your photo. Nice shot!
