What bugs eat zucchini?

Zucchini plants attract some common garden pests, including:

1. Aphids: These tiny, soft-bodied insects can infest zucchini plants and feed on the sap, causing leaves to curl, yellow, and drop.

2. Spider mites: Spider mites are almost microscopic, spider-like creatures that can infest zucchini plants, causing leaves to turn yellow or bronze and eventually drop off.

3. Whiteflies: Whiteflies are small, white insects that can infest zucchini plants and feed on the sap, causing leaves to turn yellow and wilt.

4. Cucumber beetles: Cucumber beetles, small, striped beetles, can feed on zucchini leaves and flowers.

5. Squash bugs: Squash bugs, brown or black bugs with white markings, can feed on zucchini leaves and stems, causing them to wilt and die.

6. Thrips: Thrips, tiny, narrow insects, can feed on zucchini flowers, causing them to discolor and drop.

7. Flea beetles: Flea beetles are small, dark-colored beetles that can feed on zucchini leaves, creating small holes.

8. Cutworms: Cutworms are the larvae of moths and can cut down zucchini seedlings at the soil line.

9. Snails and slugs: Snails and slugs can feed on zucchini leaves and fruit, leaving holes and trails of slime.
