http://aelah.notlong.com Beetle on Grape Vine. Japanese Beetle Pest. (Popillia japonica)

There are three grape vines on the adjacent support which is 24 feet long. This pest was found on the Boco Noir vine. The Soverign Cornation and Concord were not attacked. I found about 25 pests eating the leaves. I physically removed them and sprayed them with malathion-about the only insecticide I have available. They didn't die immediately and showed no undue signs of stress so I squashed them. Only the Concord Vine is producing fruit this yeaar- second year. This is probably a coincidence.

Up to this time I assumed the Japanese Beele only attacked grass. They sure did a number on many leaves of the grape vines.
