beetle update

Beetle update: For four days, I went out and was catching between a dozen and two dozen beetles. Today the number dropped down to six. The heat wave is here so I'm not sure if that is because the temperature change affected the insects, or if I finally got to the point where I've gotten most of them, and I'll only find the newly hatched ones from here on out. Or, maybe it was just an off day and tomorrow might spike up again.

I also saw the first Japanese beetle today. Those always go to devour my yellow roses. So, I'll be out policing both my asparagus patch and my yellow rose plant now.
