THANK YOU, thank you so much, for reading and commenting - you are a treasure!
And you are right about those beetles, sluggish in the morning, busily flying out of our grasp in the afternoon.

In the Quiet of the Morning,
the dewy stillness of dawn,
it's time for KILLING FIELDS.

This is priceless: I just hold the bowl under the plant and give it a little shake and gleefully watch them fall to their death into the solution.
Gotta love the a^^hole gardeners!
And your reminder: We garden on!
