Japanese beetles?

Yes, They are bad this year and were bad last year too. Last year they killed two of my Purple Leaf Plum Trees. I sprayed early this year but they did get two rose bushes before I had a chance to do it but they are recovering well. Probably spray again this week again. The bags work great but I feel like they attract more of them to the yard so I decided to not do the bag thing this year, but by spraying early my Crape Myrtle seems to be doing better this year compared to last year.
