FYI - I have found two squash bugs in my garage. Both in the past two early evenings sitting right on the plant. When I start my actual seeds I'm going to have a bottle of peppermint oil spray on hand as a repellent and I would recommend others in areas where these little b*st*rds are known to be do the same so your season doesn't end before it begins. They can carry the yellow vine disease and if your plant contracts it, it will not set a fruit. Whether or not they pose a threat to seedlings I don't know, but I'm not taking any chances.
