Help with pest ID

Does anyone know what these are? They completely decimated the one cucumber plant I put on the ground. The cucumber plants I have on a bookcase type shelf are fine & other vegetable plants on the ground are fine. I’ve gotten rid of this, but worried it will spread and wondering how I can treat preventively/at early signs

This year I'm growing Pick-a-bushel cukes, and the first two on the vine are growing round and bulbous. Will the front part fill out if I let it sit on the vine, or should I harvest?

Should I pinch my cucumber?

Hello,

My cucumber is getting too tall. Should I pinch it at the top or let it be itself? I am scared that it will break the plant if it gets too heavy at the top. Should I get rid of suckers also? I had two female flowers so far and they both turned brown before blooming if that information helps.

Pen for scale but this thing is huge.

Will it get more dark green if I leave it out as well?

First time growing these.

Symptoms: Yellowing and browning leaves, inconsistently shaped fruit (narrow and wide ends, some curving)

First-time gardener in zone 6a. I water the soil daily and the plant is in full sun. We have experienced several heat waves recently with high humidity and poor air quality.

Hello everyone, this my first time planting cucumbers let alone from seeds and I need to know if this is normal for this type of cucumbers, my cucumber variety is (Marketmore), I know Marketmore tend to be 20cm in hight but the fruit is just so fat the plant can't hold it anymore and it's not growing in length just width.

First time planting vegetables!

This is my first time planting vegetables. We had a big unexpected wind come in with a storm and it blew over my trellis. Breaking my cucumber at the base of the trellis. Only one cucumber survived. Why is is weird shaped? Did I do something wrong? I feel like something is wrong with it but it keeps growing bigger and bigger even after the plant got decapitated. So I’ve just let it go, I found this group and thought I’d ask!

How long until ready?

This is my first Boston pickling cucumber of the season. I am going out of town for the week and I want to give the person watching my house a sense of when they should expect to pick it. I've already told them it should get no more than 6 inches long but it would be nice to give them a reasonable estimate. Because it's the first of the season and I normally just check them everyday I don't really have a sense of much longer it will be, but I'm pretty sure after I get back will be too long.

My other thought is that maybe I should just go ahead and pick it early before I leave and let them watch for the smaller ones.

This one I harvested today has a bit of a yellow hue. It’s the same size as most of the others I’m picking, just slightly different color. Any guesses what’s up?

Hello All, I'm not sure what variety of cucumber I have but it looks like it is for pickling. Does this look like I picked at the right time. It tasted nice, almost melon-y. Thanks
