I have 3 Highbush Cranberries over here on the next hill northeast of =
Jamie.
The two on the north side of our house have never been bothered by =
anything.
The one out back is a different story; most years I have given up and =
cut it
back to the ground.  The last two years I have removed the affected =
leaves
as soon as I have noticed them and the rest of the plant has done well.

My highbush Cranberry has been totally - and I mean totally - defoliated =
by
this beetle twice in the last 3 years.  They gave it a pass in 2006.

Thanks, Chris!  In the Irving Botanical Gardens in Wolfville we saw =
blackish
larvae of presumably the same beetle on the partly devoured leaves of
highbush cranberry earlier in the season, and I have seen moderate =
amounts
of defoliation there in two different places (one in Gardens, other =
along
adjoining Acadia Woodland Trails), but as far as I know, we have not yet
seen nor collected any for the Museum collection.

The larvae are actually a pale color with many small black dots on them:

Look for adults on the leaves:

If you find some the Museum would be happy to have some specimens since =
at
the moment there are no records from Kings County and I'm very =
interested in
documenting the extent of this species distribution in the region.

All the best!
