This little critter is a very BAD BUG!!! It's called diabrotica or cucumber beetle. They are herbivores, meaning they eat our plants, especially our dahlia flowers. There is no easy way to get rid of them. Early in the morning you can do hand to hand combat and squash them, one by one before they start to fly. Insecticides don't seem to work. If one flower is full of them, cut the flower and stick it in a bucket of water. Diabrotica don't swim.
