I found my first cuke beetle yesterday in a male blossom so the plant got a sevin/daconil dose yesterday. Didn't see any cukes but half of leaf was gone this morning, and this staggered out of the garden. see diary for july 17..second post the other was good news!

looks like a firefly with an orange band on wings and extra large antenna... got another one about ten minutes later haven't seen anymore since.

that sounds like a squash vine borer moth. I would say it is more red but about a firefly size ? if so sevin wont work :) try triazicide ...it is suppose to work :)
