I flick as many as I can into a cup of soapy water, hopefully before they lay eggs. I also spray with neem oil, doing my best to avoid spears I expect to harvest.

I was not aware of asparagus beetles so naturally I googled. How do you deal with these pests which from what I read can do plenty of damage if unchecked. Paul

A really nice capture of a small beetle.
