Pretty in appearance, yet pretty annoying in behavior, cucumber beetles are not pests you should merely tolerate, lest you wish to jeopardize your cucurbits.
During an infestation, your crops can sustain feeding damage, suffer from stunted growth, and even contract diseases.
Therefore, it’s critical to have some pest management strategies in your back pocket, front pocket… or even your side pocket, if you happen to be clad in cargo shorts.
This guide will tell you everything you need to know about cucumber beetles, detailing their appearance, their life cycle, the damage that they inflict on plants, and how to manage them.
Take heed – your cucumber salads, pumpkin breads, and other melon or gourd-based dishes may very well depend on it.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
What Are Cucumber Beetles?Cucumber beetles aren’t merely a single species, or even a single genus.
Rather, they’re certain members of the Acalymma and Diabrotica genera of Chrysomelidae that consume from cucumbers and other cucurbits, aka gourds.
Cucumber beetles won’t only plague members of the Cucurbitaceae family, although cucurbit consumption is definitely what they’re most known for.
They’ll also go after beans, peas, eggplant, potatoes, fruit trees such as apples and pears, and even certain landscape ornamentals.
