Dead Japanese beetles under Rain Tree #877275

Asked July 15, 2024, 11:17 AM EDT

Okay, so I am celebrating a bit, but curious. There are 10's+ of dead Japanese Beetles under my Rain Tree. I have not done any insect control anywhere and it is just the Beetles, not the bees going nuts over the thousands of yellow blossoms. This has never happened in previous years. Any idea why and if I can replicate it?

Thank you,
