iciris said:Love Doozy! Do you know what kind a bug that is and if that's a good bug or a bad bug in the standards? I've seen them here too. 
I'm sure that is a cucumber beetle. It is (as much as I know) harmless to irises. And my cucumbers have been gone for about a month. Something I noted in the Old Farmer's Almanac is this, "Cucumber beetles hold another threat too: They can carry bacterial diseases and viruses from plant to plant, such as bacterial wilt and mosaic virus." Unquote; That is likely true with other insects too. It is well worth watching. Except for this one I haven't seen one since.
It is very late in the season for almost any garden insect. Here's a link to the Old Farmers Almanac which gives more detailed information.
