Colorado Potato Beetle

I'm just keeping track of pests on this entry. The only thing I have seen so far this year are Colorado Potato Beetles. They are slow, but they do spawn.

I caught a number of them early and even found where they had laid their eggs on the bottom side of leaves.


My solution, because I only have two raised beds devoted to potatoes is to squash them. It takes daily vigilance and the tolerance of messy fingers. So far they haven't done all that much damage.
