Viburnum Leaf Beetle Larvae Found in SE Michigan #868637
Asked May 15, 2024, 8:44 PM EDT
I found my Viburnum plant completely ruined over the course of a few days. I'm almost certain the culprit is the Viburnum Leaf Beetle but I'm not an expert. They're all over my plant and have eaten basically all of the leaves. Please see attached photo. Do I need to report this somewhere? Is my plant still salvageable?

VLB has been a pest for many years now. There is no need to report it.
