A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Macrodactylus subspinosus
Reddish brown tan small beetle that is eating the leaves of my yearling apple and pear trees. They are everywhere mating in pairs. They have been here, from what I can tell, for about 3 weeks.
Young apple and pear trees
I am worried they will kill my new trees! Help!
Sorry about the damage. Have you tried calling your county Extension office to see if they can suggest something to discourage them?
