The Buffalo Bur is the original host plant for the Colorado Potato Beetle.  I wish they would just stay on the Buffalo Bur and not eat my Potatoes!

We too have been bombarded with cucumber beetles. I'm getting attacked as soon as I take cukes and squash out of the greenhouse for transplanting to the field. It's like one of those really bad "B" movies on late night TV. They swarm me.
Potato beetles have always preferred eggplant over potatoes on our farm. They will eat the eggplant down to nothing over night. But, they also prefer one of those prickly weeds that I can't think of the name of right now, horse nettle? Purple flowers, prickly, pops up all over the place etc...
I should have known it would be like this. We were hit so early with asparagus beetles and I wondered then if it was sign of things to come. It was.
