Cucumber beetles on cucumbers (only a few, couldn't catch them) (none on tulled zukes yet)

Ah, just when I thought my trick of camouflaging the cukes among the peas was working.  Saw two this morning for the first time this year (on the cucumber plants), but they were gone by the time I came back with a container.  I haven't been looking closely at the cukes so they might have appeared earlier.  At this point will monitor/remove, though really I should probably kaolin.

Have not seen any in the zukes yet and those I'm monitoring very closely, picking the male flowers every day.  All of the zucchinis are under tulle (except the two late-sowings which are a long way away from flowering).
