Subject: cuc. beetles row cover

OK, don't pick on me if I haven't been paying very good attention, but the cucumber beetles found our babies
"en masse!" Of course we immediately went on the defensive with the sevin dust, but I also figured it couldn't hurt to do a little preventative medicine(yes I know I'm closing the barn door after the cows got out)
and covered the plants completely with floating row cover.
My perhaps stupid question is, it OK for the floating row cover to sit directly on the plants, or do we need to raise it?
I thought it would be OK to leave it right on the plants, but if I'm wrong, hubby will think I was trying to sabotage him since we do have quite a competition going this season, and so far my plant is bigger than his, and mine has not been attacked(yet)
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
