Here are my photos for today of the Spotted Cucumber Beetle.

The Spotted Cucumber Beetle (Diabrotica undeciumpunctata howardi) is a destructive beetle in vegetable gardens. It is a yellowish-green color with 12 spots on its back and is 1/4 inch long.

You will see these beetles when the temperature gets warmer in mid-spring and all through the summer. It is the larvae of the spotted cucumber beetle that does the most damage. The larvae, called grubs chew on the roots of cucumber, melons, beans, squash and pumpkins. They also feed on the roots of corn which has given them another name; Southern Corn Rootworms.

Adults feed on seedlings, foliage, fruit and flowers.

Yay! I captured its tiny face! Don't squint too hard.

Thanks for stopping by!

All photos are my own.

Excellent, congratulations to the winners of the week 39 @digital-nature, @sketch.and.jam, @gertu and @lenasveganliving. Today is Thursday of butterflies and insects, i love it!

The Spotted Cucumber Beetle is cute, i had seen him in another color. We already know that not all insects contribute to the plants without destroying them, tap to be attentive. Very good information, valued.

Well good...about having a wonderful Christmas. We have no family here so with that and Mrs. J working most of the holiday time we didn't do anything this year which is fine. But I'm glad you were able to!

This beetle is beautiful with yellow color and amazing spots. It's unfortunate that they damage those vegetables.

The information you shared is interesting! Yeah! You can capture its tiny face! Great shot!

Wishing you and my brothers a Happy and Wonderous New Year! ;)
