Re: "Natural Checks" for Japanese Beetles?

Carolyn,

I found an online reference that said the westward movement of Japanese
beetles averages 6 miles per year.

I'm 100 miles from the western Chicago burbs.  That would mean 17 years for
them to get here.  They are pretty close to on target.

They are a very pretty bug.
