The most tenacious pest in my garden this summer and last is the grasshopper.<br /><br />Japanese Beetles will give you goosebumps as those big sucker buzz around with not much navigational skills.

Should I be grateful?<br /><br />Jeff, I suppose they do, but never in my garden... cross my fingers?<br /><br />Liza and John, No doubt many bugs are beneficial, however, I have yet to discover the benefits of a root weevil, a grasshopper or a slug or snail.
