“Diabrotica spp. herbivory on Cucumis sativus is well-documented; cucumber beetles are canonical cucurbit pests. Source quote lists cucumber beetles under Cucumbers.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Diabrotica (Chrysomelidae) adults feed on cucurbit foliage and fruit; classic cucurbit pest. Organism_type=insect correct. Severity high is consistent with bacterial-wilt vector role.”
