We're not in the peak of their season yet.
Soon, the little jerks will be popping out of every lawn and field in the neighborhood. As cool as they look, I'd rather see grapes that aren't skeletonized.

Looked out the window a few minutes ago and saw blinking light in the weeds. A little action from a now very rare Lampyridae couple. Then came in and saw this post. Happy happy. Think we will have an evening picnic up at the dam tomorrow and look for more when it gets dark.

Plant roses and grapes. They'll basically leave your other stuff alone. Quite the trap crop. Lol

A couple of nights ago I walked outside a little after sundown and there were TENS OF THOUSANDS of Japanese beetles flying about a foot off the ground. I had never seen so many at once. So many they were flying into my legs.
