Peak beetle season means lacy, skeletonized leaves on crape myrtles, ornamentals, and some maples. The beetles cluster, so one section of a tree can look stripped while the rest looks fine.
A few damaged leaves is cosmetic. Widespread skeletonization on an already-stressed tree is worth a look.
Seeing beetle damage on anything in your yard this summer?
