That's not the Colorado Potato Beetle... I think it's worse, I am thinking that's the Japanese - I am pretty sure that's the Japanese Beetle bad guys.

Ah yes, you're definitely right!! My neighbor called these little buggers colorado potato beetles, so I always did too. I googled, I've never seen the actual colorado potato beetles (yet, but I'm sure they're up next). These are definitely japanese beetles. Fixing my post. Thanks for the heads up!
Shhhhh! I heard if you say their name aloud they show up the next day :0P
No problem lady!! <3
I actually just posted this today - your extension office could give you pointers on how to help your garden better!

I definitely plan on checking in with them, but thanks for the great reminder. We're there at the office all the time anyway between 4H and Cloverbuds :)
Oooh cool!!
You're right. Also known as the bane of every gardener's existence south of the Mason Dixon line. :)
Eeeek. I think we're supposed to report it to Extension if we see them here.
