The Japanese beetle destruction ended with a duel. The gardener armed with soapy water sprayed the armored beetles who met their downfall as they slid off the leaf and fell to their death. The pests were decimated without a single wound.

An entire battalion felled by the mighty combination of soap and water! Very nicely told, Whatisnew!
Thanks brisby! : )
Good one!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. : )
Couldn't they be relocated back to Japan ?
Wouldn't that be nice! LOL!
And you give out about the odd death or two in my stories? This is a wholesale slaughter!
HaHa! Yours are about deaths of people and animals which guts me. Pests like these don't break my heart. LOL!
