Bakers Man, They get on my potatoes too. I have never worried about them on the potatoes though. I don't really even worry about them on a mature AG plant. I do worry when I see hordes of them on my newly sprouted winter squash, melon and field pumpkin seedlings. It has been cool and cloudy here. Once that sun pokes through they will be out in full force.

Hard to actually track cukes, since i noticed years ago they can handle rough winters and you will have locals show up first before the actual spread happens.
