You need to keep your garden neat and clean on regularly basis. Here is a link that might be useful: Commercial Cleaning Services

Ed......they're still kicking. In the 2nd pick, it's raining. Water makes them scatter. I posted in the Garden Clinic...per Julias suggestion. I'm told they're pollen beetles. They don't seem to be causing any damage to the foliage....just really ugly! I can dump them out of the flower blossoms and throw them away....seems to be the most organic means to their "end".

Yep, aphids. The best way to get rid of them is to look around for Lady Bugs (or other beneficials that feed on soft bodied insects.) If you see them, don't do anything. If you don't see them, just spray them off with a stream of water. The water needs to spray hard enough to knock them off (they have a tough time finding their way back up the plant,) but not so hard to damage the plant. If you only have a few plants, a spray bottle usually works just fine.

Look up "May beetle" AKA "June beetle" and see it it matches the brown one. (A lot of things go by that name.) They can be really common for periods and there is no reason to get rid of them if they aren't doing visible damage to your yard. Don't get rid of an animal just because it is THERE. Only get rid of it if it's a problem. Was "a couple inches or less" a typo?
