oh my god thankyou very much i do have to say how much they look like the japanese beetle at least now i know what they are and can buy the things to treat them much appreciated

 

Over here (in the US) these things have no natural insect enemies. So they're tough to get rid of. I've dealt with them myself. You may want to try trapping them, or look into beetle nets. Or you could just plant some garlic. They don't like fragrant plants. I found a site: how to get rid of japanese beetles that may be of some help. Good luck!
