Sally, if I skip a day picking Colorado Potato Beetles off of my tortured eggplants I'd have eggplant skeletons standing in the garden...I pick at least a half-dozen of them off of six plants every day!!! The eggplants are like magnets and the beetles are like iron filings!!!! I'm not sure they're going to make any eggplants or not...there's one fruit growing and it looks rather anemic. Those CPB are terrible critters!!!
