    They have destroyed our basil plant. Thankfully they haven't touched the other plants. Anyone know what to do to get rid of them that won't poison us? :)

    They love my basil too. I check the plant several times a day and just knock them off and they fly away. Basil grows like a weed, luckily, so when the beetles are gone in another few weeks I'll just pinch back what they've destroyed and will have plenty left.

    They've left my basil alone but are loving my hibiscus tree. Ugh, I hate these little buggers!
