A note from Terra, a new gardener, and her bean beetle infestation:
———————
Hi!
I just wanted give you a heads up about a beetle that has infested my green beans.  I pulled them all out today and found 100s of little bright yellow grubs am larvae on the underside of leaves.  Here’s an article on them:

Damage caused by the Mexican bean beetle, Epilachna varnestis Mulsant.

They are related to lady bugs and the adult look like lady bugs, but don’t be deceived!  I thought you might want to alert the garden community.

Thanks!
