I'm looking for a picture of leaf damage caused by a cuke beetle. What shape and size holes do they eat in the leaves? Also, do they like to eat sunflower leaves?

Thanks for the info guys... answers my questions... I saw one on a sunflower today (first one of the year) and there might be a few leaves w/ damage, but the holes could be from the sunburn they got a few weeks ago. Will definitely continue my pesticide spraying.
