Crape Myrtle advice

Hello,

Something has been attacking my Crapes. As you can see from the picture, whatever it is seems to break the stem, preventing it form getting any larger.

Seems to happen with new growth and about every two weeks.

I am stumped. No kids, pets, etc.

Any solutions?

RE: Crape Myrtle advice

I have had Japanese beetles do some damage to my crape myrtles, but it's kind of late in the season for much damage where I live. Not sure if you get Japanese beetles or not in your area.

Below is a link that may help.
