Geraniums and Beetles?

I came home today to find 15 Beetles in one of my Geranium planters, then found another 5 in a planter across the deck from the first. The leaves on the second planter had little holes in them. I cannot find a thing online about Geraniums and Beetles.... anyone have any info?

Reply:Apparently beetles love Geraniums (intoxicants, like we humans loving alcohol) even though they are toxic to them. All I did to find this was to do a search on "geraniums and beetles."



Excerpt from one article (1st below):



"When given a choice of food, including their favorite linden leaves, adult beetles repeatedly chose geraniums even though this meal caused paralysis for up to 24 hours, and death in as many as a third of the population."
Reply:my mom has a lot of flower gardens and she had Japaneese beetles...they are tiny green bettle bugs a little smaller than a dime..they have these hanging bags at wal-mart and they did a good job of getting rid of them
