These tiny but mighty, striped cucumber beetles can transmit a lethal plant pathogen known as bacterial wilt, says Entomology, Ph.D. Student @EntoThompson. As juveniles, these beetles feed below ground on plant roots before maturing into adult beetles. #TAMUBugs #TAMUEnto

If you ever try to catch this #TAMUBug of the week, you may notice a sickly-sweet green apple scent. The squash bug is a prey insect and uses this scent to deter predators. See the published article below! 🔗onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… #TAMUBugs (Photos provided by Helms Lab).
