The circles are bad guys. The circle with a "2" next to it are bad guys having have bug sex...on my squash
This is the latest little rascal. I'm not sure what it is, but I find them eating the leaves on my squash plants at night. Hell, I catch them humping on my squash leaves! Is nothing sacred? Well, at least they died in a moment of pleasure. For now I just squish them between my fingers but once I figure out what they are perhaps I can learn something a bit more clever (and that results in less blood lost from evening insects).
I've found a couple of these on my potato plants previously while on my evening rounds and squished them. Now I find them on a tomato plant. Luckily they're not very quick, physically or mentally. They just kind of hang out on the edge of leave all long, brown and gluttonous.
Once again I have to say, knowing that many pests are nocturnal is super helpful. While its a bit buggy out at night, it is kind of nice to figure out what's been eating at your veges and catch them in the act.
