I have been gardening for 20+ years. Last year I started using raised garden beds. This year I have cucumber beetles (first time) and had to pull all my cukes up - all the plants died. Local Extension service was of no help.

While planting companion flowers I just found these insects - please help ID them. #1: two pupa of some sort both white, one larger than the other. #2: grub - found 15-20 of these in unplanted spaces. Are all grubs japanese beetles or could they be other insects? #3: tiny (1/8" maybe?) beetle like insect, black and shiny, found in the dirt, there were lots together, moves very quickly, trapped between tweezers in photo. #4: strange (and ugly) insect, almost didnt see it, about 1/4" big.

Photo #5: I brought these actual worms to the extension service. I just received their answer in the mail - the master gardener said they are wire worms. I am no expert on bugs, but I know what a wire worm looks like - at least I think I do - are they correct??

I have additional photos if necessary - Please Help!!! Thanks!
