Are you sure they're june bugs? June bugs don't come out here until about July 1 and they don't even fly near the patch.

I can confirm the June Bugs are out here in Iowa. I've never seen them chewing on my pumpkin leaves, but that's not to say they won't. I have a feeling their grubs are a problem for roots.

After a little googling I found out that there is more than one variety. Sould have figured so since cucumber beetles come in more than one. I was refering to the green variety. I assume you were refering to the brown ones that you have to sweep off the porch in the mornings. Never had a problem with them in the patch.
