Flea Beetle June 8 2010, 10:34pm via nisekogreenfarm.com

Our little black friend here, wakes up early after winter and with an appetite. Rather than spraying it to a certain death, we sow some clover that also comes up early and so the flea beetles have something else to feed on than our precious asparagus. You can recognize it's offspring as those little things that jump around your crops, like fleas. Floating row cover works well as prevention.
