Beetle Bastids

my plants seem to be having visitors during the few minutes that I am not looking at 'em. I caught one beetle nibbling on a leaf but it seems that the beetles are hitting'em hard. I've been using a spray that kills most beetles and aphids etc... They look like the Spotted Cucumber Beetle I dont know if it is but, the one I saw looked like it. I dont have a picture as I have only seen the one and went ballistic when I saw it and they come out during the day/afternoon.

I havent seen any larvae but the spray I have is "supposed" to protect the plants from many of the beetles variety. Any one else have problems with these and have tips on or methods to prevent them from eating my plants?
 
I'm fighting off Japanese beetles right now. I haven't seen this bad in several years, but I picked about 40 off the flowers and peppers yesterday. I'm going to pick up some of those traps on the way home tonight.
