Kind of cute little buggers, except two of them were chowing down on one of my pepper plants.

They have been relocated. Permanently!

Dude, they will totally destroy an entire plant in a matter of hours. Keep an eye out for them. Check your plants every stinkin' day.

They are eeeeevil.

My brother dug up a five inch grub worm in his garden the other day.

Duly noted. I hadn't been out there in a couple of days (too much watering gives you gringo peppers ;) ) and PG just spotted them.

They can be really hard to see. You gotta really watch for them. One day everything'll be fine and then you come hom from work the next day with a garden full of nekked plants. Sad, eaten-up, nekked plants.

And it will pi$$ you off with the power of a thousand suns...:mad:

Hard to see? These bastages were 2 inches long already! Strangely, it doesn't look like they had time to do a whole lot of damage yet.

I think it's some kind of Asian longhorned beetle, so I hate it.
