Those look an awful lot like the striped cucumber beetle.

More like the Three Striped potato beetle, with those little dots on the pronotum. But I confess to not knowing what Big Burg is. Do you mean lettuce?

Yeah, looks like the potato beetle. According to the University of New Hampshire (link below) Three-lined potato beetles are found on plants in the family Solanaceae. I'm guessing that dethcheez meant to type "Brug" (short for Brugmansia) instead of Burg. Brugmansia is in the Solanaceae family.

Thanks, Art, for solving the spelling mystery! Now, it all matches up.

Nice ID on the Three-lined potato beetles rhizo, I would not have gotten that one. Have never heard or seen one of those critters actually ... and I have three large Datura plants :-)
