The Colorado Beetle attacks potato crops with veracity. This has often given it the name of "potato bug" or "ten striped potato bug."

Bacillus thuringiensis var. san diego is an organic control on Colorado potato beetle [Leptinotarsa decemlineata] larvae. It's a new strain of B.t. It should be chosen over the older Bacillus thuringiensis, which is an effective control of loopers, hornworms, caterpillars and bagworms but not of Colorado potato beetles.
Potatoes can be planted with corn, cabbage, beans, eggplant (a greater attraction to the Colorado potato beetle) and marigolds.
It means to "violently destroy". For example: "Left unchecked, the Colorado Potato Beetle can ravage a potato crop, leaving virtually nothing but skeletonized stems."

The scientific or taxonomic name would be Leptinotarsa decemlineata.
Audaciously, prolifically, sereptitiously and voraciously are the ways that the Colorado potato beetle lives. The insect in question (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) begins life cycles and natural histories as numerous orange eggs that hatch into hungry larval eaters of leaves of such nightshade family members as eggplants, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. The fourth larval instar moves into a brief or overwintering pupa that matures into an adult Colorado potato beetle that will fly where needed to skeletonize nightshade family edibles.
