Spotted Cucumber Beetle - Diabrotica undecimpunctata
Davenport, Scott County, Iowa, USA

Size: 6 mm
I noticed that the data map for Diabrotica undecimpunctata Spotted Cucumber Beetle did not show Iowa in the range (indicating no pictures of this species from Iowa had been submitted). Here is one for Iowa!

Nice work, Private.
Now, can you find yourself a honey bee? According to our records, none has turned up in Iowa yet.

Ha
I'll see what I can do! I wonder how our flowers get pollinated?

I'll bet you find out!
And without those bees, there would be no broccoli. (Of course, you could import it.)
