The Guy With The Spotted Jacket! by Diane Schuster
These little beatles are all over my garden, seems as if we have more than our fair share. We always called them bean beatles but come on now, I’ve planted no beans, so thank you very much they eat rose petals, what an expensive diet. At least they have an eye for beauty! They always have reminded me of the guy that shows up at the party in a loud sports jacket.

A beautiful capture of this naughty little bug!!!! We’ve always called them ‘cucumber beetles’ – - – do you have cucumbers in your garden?!! LOL
That’s funny lorilee, we always called them bean beatles, but they seem to like everything, I do have burpless cucks but I never see them on those plants, they seem to prefer my roses for now! Thanks for your great comments! Dee
