Ruining the roses

I suppose they had a bit of fun before they started.

Ha ha great timing. Maybe they didn't have any energy left to eat the roses later.

@casablanca Whit spotted fruit chafer, the most destructive beetles. They start by eating all the buds and finish off the roses. If I would not spray regularly, I would have no roses. I do feel sorry for the beetles, but they can go elsewhere ;-)

Great capture.
