What eats radish leaves?

Flea Beetles are very tiny beetles that love to chew through the radish
leaves. Organic gardeners use radishes planted between other crops to
draw
the beetles to the radishes rather than their prized vegetables. They
will
not prohibit the growth of the actual radish, but the leaves look pretty
lacy. Sorry about the flower show - maybe you can put a sign that says
they
were organically grown. I'm not sure what the eggs are. They may be
ladybugs.
That's the trouble with trying to grow organically - we have to let the bugs
have some too!
