Re: Asian beetle control

Hello Sally, 
If you are referring to the shiny copper viburnum leaf beetle, the Chicago Botanic Garden has a good photo on this link.

A few years ago some Chicago neighborhoods were infested by the Asian longhorned beetle, and this past year has seen the death of most of our ash trees because of the emerald ash borer, also believed to have come here from Asia (specifically China).
