At the First Sign of Danger


Potato beetles suck. This striped little shit did not receive the same affection as did the mice we found yesterday. Oh no siree. We squashed him (or her, I really don't care) proper.

Thanks for the pic and the I.D. Now I know the next time I see one of these guys I'll grab it and stomp on it good.

My potato beetles are yellow and black---they get squished quite quickly here too.

Good for you. It's a shame something so pretty is so evil to gardeners. :(
