Rose lovers are personally affected when beetles walk into the flowers of their mistresses. And the more pale and bright the roses are, the more happily the beetles burrow into the flower cores.
It’s not just that the unprofessional has climbed to where, in the gardener’s opinion, he has no place. A beetle’s visit is not like a butterfly’s visit that sucks a little and flies away. Or as a visit to a bee licking medicine and stuffing its pockets with pollen. The beetle is a simpleton: it bites and eats soft parts and damages flowers. In fact, it is a flower pest.
The beetles belong to a species with the scientific name Oxythyrea funesta.
It doesn’t just destroy in roses. It also sits in the flowers of other shrubs, gardens, and meadow flowers. The beetle wounds the flowers by devouring the flower parts.

Thankfully I haven’t seen any this season in the garden.
Luckily, I haven’t gotten a visit to this bug either.
I hope we both escape them and no eating up our gardens and/or flowers!
Such interesting capture and information about this beetle.
Thank you, Ellie. I’m glad you learned something new.
Beetles can be very pesky nsects. When I had a garden in Latvia we were lucky and no beetles attacked the roses that grew.
So far, I am also lucky about the bugs. They haven’t visited my garden yet. 😊
Great picture, dear Vidocka …. I’ve seen a bug like this before, I just didn’t know it was so harmful
Thank you, Lado. Luckily I haven’t noticed these bugs on my flowers yet.
Better not … because there are already enough pests
I agree with you. I’m very glad I don’t see them.
I already have my hands full working with pots, ants and some kind of lice that completely destroyed my beans
i have to say I am sorry this BUGS you.
(i can’t help it, i love dad jokes).
Beetles are bad news I agree! great picture by the by!
thanks for not bugging me to pick a color!
(so sorry, they are just flowing on this side now)!
Luckily I haven’t noticed these bugs on my flowers yet. Guessing the color will come next. 😊
glad to hear the flowers in your garden are safe.
will you commit to no monitor tampering before making us guess the color? 😉
I promise I won’t reach for the monitor 😊. I hope you can guess the color more easily.
I will do my best. Although if you really want me to guess correctly, actually have the color in the original picture!
then I have no way to be wrong!
My blooms get lots of Japanese beetles.
I haven’t noticed them on my flowers yet. I took the picture in the park.
I have problems with the beetles every year.
Ants and snails cause me the most problems. I don’t have many bugs.
