The Japanese Beetle had a tenuous grip on the dahlia but managed to right itself. They are attractive beetles but are destructive and feed on a large variety of plants. No friend to gardeners!

Nice composition from the back of the flower, Belinda! Interestingly, these Japanese beetles are another thing we haven’t seen much of this summer. Not that I miss them, but they are part of the order of things.

Thanks, Ellen! A lot of insects are showing up in fewer numbers here as well 😏

Yes, no friend at all, nor those troublesome cucumber beetles making holes in my beautiful dahlias!

While being no friend to gardeners, you have caught it in an interesting position and in a lovely light.

Thank you. I like the way the light caught the flower’s underside.
