sooby said:The markings vary a bit but yours looks pretty close to this example and the size seems right:


Since it is apparently a fungus feeder then I guess we need to consider that your apple trees have something growing on them that is attracting the beetles, maybe powdery mildew. It seems unlikely that the beetles are doing any harm anyway.

I think that might be it. I saw this today, would this be powdery mildew? It's a new shoot and it's white, looks fuzzy, and the leaves are curled. If so, I saw a few DIY sprays, any suggestions on getting rid of it? These are our first two trees and I'm already going bonkers will all I need to know lol same with the garden.
