Thanks- I’m fighting off Japanese beetles right now who want those figs as much as I do!

Bon; Organza bags! Buy some green 4"x6" ones from Amazon and put them over the figs to protect them.

They also have little nylon sleeves you can put over plums and tie them to keep insects off the fruit

The Japanese beetles here have subsided and I took the large cover off my plum tree. We did have a lot of Green June bugs which are not much different than a Fig eater beetle.
