Can someone tell me what kind of beetle this is...they're in my vegetable garden...they seem to come to the surface when I water...how do I get rid of them?
CLOSED: Beetles in my vegetable garden
This is a scarab beetle known as the Oriental beetle; like the Japanese beetle, it is an introduced species. The adult beetle appears to do little damage, but its larvae can be a problem - see http://www.uri.edu/ce/healthylandscapes/OBcontrol.html for some control recommendations.
Thank you!
