Spotted cucumber beetle (likely western spotted cucumber beetle)

Gardens, farms, and other places with cucurbits and grasses; adults may wander onto patios and sidewalks.

Adults feed on leaves, flowers, and pollen, especially on cucurbits; larvae feed on roots and may attack corn.

Yellow-green beetles with black spots; adults are active in warm weather and fly readily. Larvae develop in soil, and adults may overwinter in sheltered sites.

Can damage seedlings and spread bacterial wilt among cucurbit crops. Not dangerous to people and does not bite.
