Beetles on my tomato Plants
Anna said:
They were feeding on just one tomato plant which was strange as I have 36 plants in all. The were nibbling on the leaves and blossoms. Didn't bother the fruit at all. I still see a few around after spraying once. They are no longer on the tomato plant. Other than flea beetles, the only beetles I can think of that would feed on tomato *leaves* are various blister beetles and potato beetles. We can rule out one of the potato beetles because they are obviously colored in yellows and rust or brown. Blister beetle come in various sizes and colors. They give the appearance of long 'necks' and often the wing covers (elytra) do not completely cover the abdomen. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
