I thought I saw this previously, but I am having a hard time finding similar pics so I am posting it. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what kind of pest causes this type of leaf damage and if there is any known way of removing this pest from my environment. Thanks!

Today is Jan 1, so time to start a Glog and THINK about what to grow. The answer is most likely somewhere in here. I'll figure it out shortly. :think:

Yes! Striped Cucumber Beetle! I have seen them and actually smooshed a couple. Ok, now I got a victim. Gotta look up videos on how to get rid of them. Thanks!@bpiela Hey Ben, check out this post. Kinda looks like what's happening to you.

I'm nuking Worms & flea, & Japanese beetles etc. with Spinosad. It's nontoxic.

Spinosad seconded heartily! It's pretty amazing stuff IMO, and controls a surprising number of pests. And somehow not toxic to most beneficials.
Watch out if you have cucumber or squash around - cucumber beetles carry bacterial wilt and mosaic virus, and if your cucubrits get infected they're pretty much done.
