Potato leaf spots


I have notice brown spots on some of the potato leaves in the last few days. It seems to be in localised areas at the moment. I've checked the books and the closest thing I can find that might be the cause is a beetle type thing.

The only beetle type thing I can find in the leaves is a strange light brown/green thing that jumps incredibly fast when you poke it. I imagine that this is the thing causing the brown spots.

Thankfully these spots should not mean the potatoes are in danger or diseased.

I shall harvest the largest of the potato pots this weekend and will report back on what I find.
