[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4238837, member: 6230"] thats a squash bug aka stink bug. some mistake the cucumber beetle between the two which is why i asked. yes straw can give them habitat but if you pull the straw aways a bit from the root stem and put down a short piece of 2x4 they will hide under the board on cool nights. then in the am look under the board and if you have any dump them in a bucket of soapy water. you can also use insecticide soap to kill adults. i also lightly sprayed with chrysanthium pyrethrin to kill the ones i missed. which today after reading this thread again checked my 25 yell crook and straights and picked about 15 adults and checked under the under side of leaves and scraped all the eggs. you guys probably saved my squash crop this year and dont even know it. i believe the bugs have come early this year. vine borer sticky boards are going down tomorrow. my son used DE to kill his fire ants and after doing some reading today it may very well be a very good natural garden insecticide that i will have to try. i only thought that it killed beetle type exoskeletal insects. it might work on the vine borer.
