Description
Photograph of a Cucumber Beetle, by Danielle R T Haney.
For the past few years, this little devil and his cohorts have tried ravaging my garden. Fortunately, this year, due to either my final realization of correct Companion Planting, the friendly Lacewings' and Leather Wings' Appetite, or the unusually Chilly Summer of the Northeast, the Battle of the Cucumber Beetle was short and Victorious for me! Pumpkins, Squash, Watermelon, & Cucumbers WILL SURVIVE! :-D

This is amazing - a great shot! I love the description. I had a similar fascination and a revelation about another beauty/beast in our garden, a leafhopper. L.F.
