I'm trying to figure out this bug that I have now found on Dandelions roots last year and this year.

Last year, I found several dandelions with these bugs close to my new climbing rose. It died even though I treated it in case of infestation.

Now, I have a couple of shrubs that are looking pretty bad and I used Bayer tree/shrub insecticide to save them. They are coming around but I'm worried about my other plants. Is this bug something I should be afraid of? What can I do to rid my beds of them?

I haven't seen these bugs on any other weed roots, just dandelions.

Your help is most appreciated.
