Why do potato plants follow the sun?

I suspect that like most green plants the potato has gibberellins (growth hormones) in the stem that migrate to the side of the stem opposite the sun. On that side they stimulate stem growth, causing the stem to bend towards the sun.

Can potato beetles be pets?

Potato beetles probably can not eat lettuce. Potato beetles evolved in the Rocky Mountains of North America. They could only live on a plant similar to a potato. When farmers began growing potatoes, they moved to potato plants. They were able to live on their original hosts as well as potato plants. In fact, potato plants provided a better place for them. So, the fact that they were unable to spread until they could move to potato plants makes it seem like it will be difficult to find somewhere else they can grow.
