Good Question. I'm hoping the few bitter cold days we had last winter killed them off. I saw two a day or two apart on our confederate rose bushes but none in my vegetable garden, apple trees or the pigweed they seem to pefer the most. Lol I'm in Rainbow City, suburb of Gadsden, on the shore of Lake Neely Henry.
I've not had any serious infestation of any insects. Did have a couple of squash vine borers

They are all in my yard...beetle reunion in New Market..

scandia: Sorry you're stuck with them, but I'm glad they're not in my yard. Haven't seen a one here in Gadsden.

Scandia, it's interesting that you've been hit hard by the beetles....I'm just down the road from you in the part of Huntsville where I live.

they've been long gone in the auburn area but they were here at their normal time and found my roses and japanese maples tasty, as usual.

Funny I just saw this and was asking myself the same thing a few weeks ago. I saw a few...mostly in the veggie garden...one or two on the JM, but for the most part they obviously visited elsewhere this year. I did not spray a thing this year either.

They're gone now in Moody, but they chowed down in my garden earlier this Summer.

Well, apparently they were in my yard in Dothan. That's the only thing I can figure can eat on leaves in that way. Fed on my Confederate rose and a hibiscus.
