>They could be young Colorado Potato Beetles but they seem completely different.

Okay, well this is a short-lived issue....I finally found a picture of Potato Beetle larva and indeed that is what they are! Wow! The larva seem to be more destructive than the adults. Well, the geckos are having a hunting frenzy at this stage (if only I could turn them loose on the beds). The ducks are enjoying the adults.....looks like several days of hand-picking are in store for me!!! Any other suggestions for prevention and annihilation will be appreciated. We are a certified organic operation. Thanks!
