Yup, cucumber beetle. Devastating things, for their small size they sure do eat a lot!

Hey, I knew that! I wasn't asked to identify the pest, but to name it. Sorry @dickiebird but it still looks like a Susie to me.

That's a pretty little bug. I don't think we have those here since I've never seen one.
