Expert Response

These are Japanese Beetles.  Japanese Beetles have recently become established in West central Arapahoe County.   

One of their favorite plant foods is grape leaves.

Japanese Beetles are difficult to control.   For more details, see http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05601.html
