Dsmith74 16 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Anybody know what this is? About a month ago I found quite a few of these on my Cotinus as I was hacking it back to a reasonable size. Now it is covered with purple leaf-eaters that I'm pretty sure are beetle larvae, and I doubt it is a coincidence. I'm not planning to treat the plant or anything, since A.) I've sold the house and B.) it's Cotinus - I doubt a few beetles will slow it down (and of it does, that's probably a good thing). Just curious, since my best Google-fu hasn't narrowed it down any.
