Unfortunately, life was too hectic for me to do anything else other than deal with my plants...no video.

But! Nothing hard to understand.

1. They emerge mind June (at least for me in michigan).
2. Immediately!! THEY SCOUT FOR suitable food sources.....which we'll ALL KNOW. Is darn near everything green.....
3.They will target grape family plants first, GUARANTEED. That goes the same for all of us!
4. THEY REPRODUCE ALMOST AS FAST AS THEY IMERGE. STOP THEM.
4. They will feed primarily on the top most/outermost leaves. During the hottest times of the day consisting between 10 am to 5pm and slowly vanish to I don't know where at the moment...

5. WHEN they land on plants suitable, they will excrete white dry substance on leaves, marking for buffet!
6. Entirely most important step is here and now.

you MUST get these ones off as quickly as possible. They are the candle holders for the rest of the devils.
Extinguish them.....

7. All you need to do is simply hold a cup of water under them and tap them in. Be careful. That movement will set the rest off of the plant. Be incognito, you must.... they do NOT bite, their legs are just very grip secured. Don't be scared.

8. ALSO REMOVE LEAVES WITH WHITE SUBSTANCE REMAINING. That is their candle!
Throw away or burn.

9. If you watch and do not impede. They will fly toward the ground and burrow. To lay eggs, that resets the death wheel. Stop them.


I'm begging. Message . ...me....if you don't understand anything.


I'm currently testing, keeping marked leaves in container to see if they will go for them.

What do I do with my beetles?

I let my chickens answer that...
