Here are my photos for today of the Spotted Cucumber Beetle.

The Spotted Cucumber Beetle (Diabrotica undeciumpunctata howardi) is a destructive beetle in vegetable gardens. It is a yellowish-green color with 12 spots on its back and is 1/4 inch long.

You will see these beetles when the temperature gets warmer in mid-spring and all through the summer. It is the larvae of the spotted cucumber beetle that does the most damage. The larvae, called grubs chew on the roots of cucumber, melons, beans, squash and pumpkins. They also feed on the roots of corn which has given them another name; Southern Corn Rootworms.

Adults feed on seedlings, foliage, fruit and flowers.

Yay! I captured its tiny face! Don't squint too hard.

Thanks for stopping by!

All photos are my own.
