bugs or fungus or both?


Question
I live in Boise, ID.  I am growing 2 lemon cucumbers in opposite sides of the yard.  1 is healthy the other is dwindling fast.  I sprayed with an organic bug spray 3 days ago, although there was no specific bugs on it at that time.  Yesterday I went out and 1/2 the plant was eaten or gone atleast. The leaves appeared to look Lacey but dry and crumbly, yet some leaves had the look of being crushed(how they darken and get limp)  I saw a few bugs but nothing serious, yet there was secretion on the underside of the leaves. I can't find any info on what this might be, I have gardened myself for years and never ran into something like this.  I fear I may loose the plant but more importantly may spread to entire garden, luckily this plant is far from the main garden.  Any help you can give would be appreciated.  Thanks for your time!

Answer
Is there any way to send me some pictures?  Many things affect cucumbers including bugs and fungal disease.  A picture would help me tremendously.  Send pictures to [email protected] with the subject line of allexperts so it wont get deleted.  I will respond quickly with my thoughts.  Thanks.
