banded cucumber beetle - Diabrotica balteata LeConte common name: banded cucumber beetle LeConte (Insecta: Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) The banded cucumber beetle is basically a tropical insect, and until the early 1900s its distribution in the United States was limited to southern Arizona and Texas (Saba 1970), and south through Mexico and Central America (Krysan 1986). It has since expanded its range throughout the southern United States from North Carolina to southern California, though its intolerance to freezing temperatures probably limits its northward distribution to its current status. Within Florida it is most abundant in the organic soils near Lake Okechobee, though it occurs throughout the state, where it is known as a vegetable pest.
