Sucking nectar of bushkiller flower.

Is that tasty?

This plant belongs to the grape family but few of them seeds.

And, these flowers don't looks tasty.

There may be a difference between human and insect.

Hot summer of Japanese beetles

3 Japanese beetles were feeding on bushkiller flowers.

 They were eating flowers, not nectar.

I understood why they're hated in America....(••;)

On the other leaf, hot blooded Japanese beetles were holding a fight!

Only the right side beetle was an onlooker.

Was it really a fight?

What were they doing???

Their hot summer doesn't end.
