I get these insects every year. I think they are some sort of cucumber beetle but not sure which one.
This year they seem to be more prolific and more voracious. I am sure if I could let my chickens free range a bit more they would be less of a problem. I am also thinking about growing no curcubits for a year but that would be pretty extreme and besides they seem to be willing to eat anything.

We have been plagued with aphids on many of our brassicas again this year, but luckily we have never had any cucumber beetles.
I am thinking of letting the chickens into certain parts of the garden this fall to help with the bug issues, mostly their overwintering eggs. Maybe that will help.
