My local nursery told me that the damage being done to my sandcherry and
weeping cherry trees are being done by japanese beetles. I've fished a few
out of the pool and I know what they look like, but all the time that I
check the trees, never have I seen one on or near them. Do they come out at
night? How can I not see them? We sprayed a chemical that the nursery sold
to us but I can't tell if it's working. Any suggestions or info on these
little critters is greatly appreciated.

Here at least they fly around mostly at day. At lest, that's when my trap catches them. One trap
has caught literally several thousand of them.
