Pests - Striped Cucumber Beetle

Here is one more pest I have found in the garden -- the striped cucumber beetle. I think the sevin has worked on these guys, the ones I found today were dead or seemed slow moving. I read today that I need to check for eggs under the base of the leaves. I will be doing that next time out.

Also today I found more Colorado potato beetle eggs on the eggplant and on the bell pepper plants. I did not see any more beetles.
