Colorado Potato Beetle, eggs - Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Colorado Potato Beetle, eggs - Leptinotarsa decemlineata
100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
July 29, 2012
I'd never seen these before but they are rather prolific on my second planting of potatoes (none on the third planting, yet.) I have become quite adept at squishing them, 3 times a day and finally, I'm not finding many. But I did take one batch of eggs and reared some of them. This is a "batch" series.
