So many bugs in my yard, Help!!?

Question

They are pretty big, and don't really look like bees, they have black wings and look like fireflys on steroids, and seem to like one particular bush that has red, holly looking berries on it, what are these pests, and how do I get rid of them?

Answer 1

Leave them alone...they are doing a job. They'll be gone in a few days.

Answer 2

japenese beetles?

Answer 3

There is a flying beetle that looks a lot like a firefly.  I don't know what these are called, but they never seem to hurt anything or bite.  You might try a Google image search for beetles or for fireflies.
