Yes! I did notice that. I thought they were good bugs that just liked to hang around my plants. I was curious though, so I looked them up, and it turns out they are causing the damage I see.

Liquid seven and melethion 50 plus work great! I also have them hanging in the open blooms. Chris

That's the problem with cuke beetles. They are great pollinators, but they eat the plant also. I have used sevin, malethion, and isotox alternating weeks. I still have some holes so I don't think I'm getting them all.

cool! I'll try that.
I'm going out to battle the bugs!
Should I spray the flowers with Sevin too? or will that kill the bees?
