Japanese Beetle

I hate these things. They decimate my roses and the only solution seems to be hand picking them off. They also seem to spend about 90% of their time copulating, so you just know there will be more of them again next year.

The black & green background and tight beetle make for a great photo.

Thanks George, I really don't like these guys but did appreciate that he stayed still long enough for me to capture him.

Great capture of this pest!
