Best Answer

Aphids, beetles, borers, grubs, leafhoppers, weevils, and worms are some pests that like to feed on potatoes.

Specifically, the starchy, tuberous crop in question (Solanaceae family) attracts blister, Colorado and flea beetles to its chewable foliage. It draws peach and potato aphids as well as potato leafhoppers to its hormone- and mineral-rich, watery sap. It gets the attention of European corn borers, potato tuberworms, Southern potato and tobacco wireworms, vegetable weevils, white grubs with its underground parts.

They eat the leaves of potato plants and they don't drink. They get moisture from the juice in the leaves.
