Help! What are these small (1/4 to 3/8") brown scarab type beetles that are trying to denude my little peach trees in the night? Last year I spent many hours late at night pulling them off the branches and dropping them in a bucket of water, but more always came the next night. Should I spray the trees with Neem - or spray it right on the bugs? No poisons, please. There are so many, they cluster on the screens at night, trying to get in to the light.
Hey - maybe a light trap could be constructed. Anyone know anything about that?

zillions of scarabs
Kabocha, you might have better luck with your question over here http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/fruit/all/ at the fruit and nut tree forum.
Good luck identifying them!
Thanks, tombaak, I forgot where I was.
