What bug is this on my peaches, grapes, and apples???
It is a little longer than a quarter inch, and is relatively easy to grab and catch with one’s bare fingers.
They don’t fly away, and are very active in mating right now here in central Kentucky.
Those are leaf miner beetles I believe. Locust leaf miners.

I see. Yes, that is it! Thank you for helping me to identify it.
Is it something I should be concerned about?
Do any of the sprays we already do for apples, peaches, grapes, be effective on the Locust Leafminer?

I know this is a wild and crazy idea, but what if you actually read the article that Noddykitty linked?

Thank you, yes, of course I did! I guess I am a hands on kind of person, who also likes to learn and connect directly with people.
