Cucumber BeetleThere are two common types of cucumber beetle, striped and spotted.
Adult cucumber beetles are 5 to 6 mm in length and greenish yellow in color with a red head and black thorax. Eggs are yellow in color, oval in form, and measure about 0.6 mm in length and 0.35 mm in width. They are deposited in cracks in the soil and require five to nine days to hatch. Larval color can vary depending on the food source; initially it is white, but may take on a pale yellow color. Pupation occurs in the soil, with a duration of four to six days.
Vegetable crops damaged include cucumber, squash, beet, bean, pea, sweet potato, okra, corn, lettuce, onion, and various cabbages. The cucumber beetle is known as a vector of viral diseases in beans, and larval feeding might increase the incidence and severity of Fusarium.
