This a cucumber beetle, and he's doing his best to eat away our squash, cucumbers and (we think) green beans. (Click here to learn more about this pest.)
But we have a plan.
Jay ordered sticky traps and a cucumber beetle lure to try to rid our garden of these little stinkers. The lure is actually a pheromone, that special scent that attracts species to one another. We'll use the lure to bring the cucumber beetles to the sticky traps and thus getting them off our plants.
The shipment should arrive today; we'll let you know next week if it was as effective as we hope it will be.
