The dreaded and destructive Japanese beetles. I think your best bet is taking them off by hand and destroying them but like you, I am hoping they don't return this year. Great photos @deerjay and I love the last one with the bite marks on that poor leaf. Thanks for using #insectpub tag. : )
Thank you very much @whatisnew!! I agree, hoping they don't return but have resolved that removing by hand is what I will have to do. 😧
