YELLOW & BLACK (LADYBUGS?) EATING MY CUCUMBER & MELON VINE LEAVES

Posted 784 days ago

Yellow & Black bettles like lady bugs eating through the leaves of my cucumber and melon vine leaves. they are not hurting the fruit but are making the plants look sick. Have tried the two finger squash method but just can't keep up to them. any organic methods would be appreciated/

I am trying a standard sticky fly trap ribbon on a post next to each plant. Looks like a few hundred were trapped the first night...
