Ah yes sounds like Japanese beetles. I had my first experience with them last year. I came home from a week's vacation in mid July to find them eating up my chokeberry shrubs. You can definitely knock them off into a bucket of soapy water as you find them. I had good luck with traps (they are non toxic, just use a pheremone to attract the beetles and then the fall into a bag where they die, while not affecting any other insects.) Some people say these traps just attract more beetles, and maybe they do, but they worked for me. I used this one and this one. I hung them on shepherd's hooks along the property line as far as possible away from my garden. One in front and one in back. Good luck!
This year I learned all about four lined plant bugs. Which are unlike Japanese beetles are native here but they still are pretty destructive! I'm usually all for native insects in the garden, after all the reason I have it is to be food for wildlife. But there were just too many of them, and not enough predators. So in the mornings I'd go find the nymphs and knock them into a bucket of soapy water.
And of course rabbits. Always the rabbits!
