Re: Asian beetle control

Sally - hate to say it but the pic of the beetle is too small to be
properly identified.  There are likely several options for what it could be
- so when I'm passing pics along to the entomologist for a confirmed id, we
really do look for something a bit closer.  It's not at all visible in the
foliage pic.

It did come through on the GWL list so some listmembers might be able to
give you some decent options. The settings on GWL were changed to allow
pictures btw.

Sorry

Doug
