+===== Cucumber beetle =====
+There are two varieties plaguing my gardens, the spotted cucumber beetle and the striped cucumber beetle. They do similar damage, though they behave a bit differently.
+hat Are Cucumber Beetles?
+Signs of cucumber beetle infestation are that seedlings are being eaten off, leaves are yellowing or wilting, or holes are showing holes.
+Both the striped cucumber beetles and spotted cucumber beetle are specialists on cucurbits (cucumbers, squash, and melons). The spotted beetle is also fond of corn and grasses.
