They explain what this bug is:

It could indeed be chipmunks, as well as crows and other birds who love tender green sprouts from germinated seeds.   A groundhog would also eat the sprouts if there is any way for them to get thru, or under the fence.

@nana59  You better watch yourself.  I had a post zapped because I referred to a cucumber as a cuke.  They said that was "unkind".  Apparently they got complaints from the cucumber community.

Here's what it said:

ucumber?

Spring is the time to plant vegetable gardens, and once the danger of frost passes, it is safe to plant plants and/or seeds in the vegetable garden. Whether you start cucumber seeds indoors or sow them directly into the soil, there is one thing that about which all cucumber growers should be concerned, and that is the damage that cucumber beetles cause. Although these pesky insects eat the leaves, roots and stems of cucumber plants, the diseases they spread are even more devastating and impacts multiple cucumber plants and spreads to other plants susceptible to the diseases.
