A Cute Menace

            "The striped and spotted cucumber beetles are an agricultural concern for growers as a large number of them can feed on and destroy newly transplanted or germinating cucurbit plants. The adult beetles feed on the leaves and flowers while the larvae are soil-dwellers and will feed on the roots of the plant. Both types of damage impact the plants’ ability to grow. If there are enough of these pests, they will chew away the flower and growers will not see any crops that season.

These beetles also transmit bacterial wilt. Bacterial wilt is a disease that reduces the plants’ ability to function properly and the leaves will eventually die. Loss of leaves will lead to the plant being unable to produce a sizeable squash. Striped and spotted cucumber beetles carry the bacteria in their gut and when they feed it is transmitted to the plant."
