How do they go about doing this? Do they kind of pale out and then get brown?

If you think there's even the slightest chance it could be mildew you should spray for that - early, before it even thinks about getting hot or you will crispy critter your plant.

I use 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp light cooking oil, a bit of Ivory dish soap and a quart of water in a spray bottle.

Spray the vine, too.

Now, if they're doing something else, ignore me.

You've got squash bugs already crossed off the list, right?

Good luck!
