iNJURIOUS INSECTS OF 1904. 



4. A greenish yellow beetle, same size as above, with 12 

 black spots, feeding on leaf of plant. 

 TWELVE-SPOTTED DIABROTICA. 



Fig. 80. — Diabrotica 12 punctata, Oliv. After Riley, U. S. Dep. of Agriculture. 



Remedy: Same remedies as for Striped Cucumber Beetle. 



5. A black shining beetle, which jumps like a fiea, found on 

 melons and cucumbers. 



CUCUMBER FLEA BEETLE. 



Fig. 81.^ — Epitrix cuciimeris, Harr. From Chittenden, U. S. Dep. of Agriculture. 



Remedy: Really more troublesome to leaves of apple trees than to 

 cucumbers. Would be easily kept in check by treatment for two preceding 

 pests. 



The Melon Caterpillar attacks melons, and the Neat Cucumber 

 Moth or Pickle Worm attacks fruit of cucumber, but we have not 

 met with these in this state.
