Default What's eating my cucumbers?

They are little worms that get in the cucumbers and in the stems,
killing the stems and boring holes all through the fingerlings. What
are they do and what I do to get rid of them, and what do they look
like as adults?



My first guess would be cucumber beetles. [the larva feed on stems &
roots]

My vote for control is an insecticide that lists cucumber beetle as a
species it kills applied as the package directs.
