Murder in the Garden

Murder in the Garden, originally uploaded by Wally Hartshorn.

I took this photo on the same day as the previous one. It's on the other side of the same bush. Yes, the Japanese beetles are back in the area! Hopefully they won't be overly fruitful and multiply.

Actually, they're very nifty beetles. I had a large insect collection when I was younger, and I really liked these. Of course, I wasn't much concerned with gardening at the time, so my perspective was a little different.

Don't worry; the title of this photo is overly dramatic. It's merely assault and battery, so far.
