june bettles

about a month ago i posted about an unknown beetle attacking my plants. They managed to eat about half a plum tree, mauled my raspberry canes , savaged my apples and maybe ate a good portion of my potato leaves. I may be wrong about the above but this has never happened to me before ( parden the pun!)

I identified them as june beetles. Apparently they emerge every year and after a good feed bury themselves in the lawns around and about and then lay grubs to do the same again next year!

How do i prevent these horrible creatures eating my crops!
