Can you please tell me what these bugs are? The yellow one was found on our squash plants, and the other in the grass. We live in the Baton Rouge, La. area.
Thanks,

Striped Cucumber Beetles Unknown Leaf Beetle

Hi Jeanette,
These are both Leaf Beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. The ones mating on the squash plant are Striped Cucumber Beetles, Acalymma vittata. The other beetle is also one of the Leaf Beetles, but we are not sure of the species.
