We have them too here in the Northern Suburb of the Nations capital
(Maryland). They have eaten the grape wine, roses, and their growth.
I have peach plant, couple of plum plants (trees) - stanging without
any leaves. I think first the cicadas got to the branches and now the
Japanese beattles.

I remember a time when Japanese beetles were as plentiful as buffalo
