I've never seen Japanese beetles here, but a quick search show they do exist here. Though one thing said they leave the leaves looking kind of feathery, leaving the spine, etc. My leaves are chewed around the edges, kind of scalloped. I'll try the DE for tonight, at least. Thanks for the link, Maggie. Thanks, Bobert and Janie, too! I'll take a look tomorrow at the other remedies and go look with a flashlight tonight. Thanks!
