Japanese Beetles Love Their Geraniums

I've happened upon a new theory. It has to do with geraniums and Japanese beetles. Apparently some scientists from the USDA have revived an old study. The study involved geraniums and that nasty little bug we've come to abhor so. These guys say they know how to get rid of Japanese beetles and I'm all ears.

 Apparently, these bugs love geraniums, and will do all kinds of things to get at them. They eat the beloved plants until they fall into deep sleep, and when they wake up, they go looking for more. It's a cycle not unlike humans on heroin or cocaine.The beetles can completely annihilate a bush, then they sleep, and during this slumber they're  vulnerable to predator attacks. They also seem to be completely disinterested in any other plant while they're on geraniums. The bugs have a Jones that knows no equal. They're even said to have no interest in reproduction while eating the plant.

Researchers from the USDA are saying this experiment remains a laboratory scenario, meaning they're not suggesting gardeners or farmers rely on this to get rid of the pests, but man are the implications there.
