Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comHi Everyone; I checked our garden this morning, and everything was fine. We have a gold zucchini plane with 5 (potentially) nice zucchini on it – (They still need to blossom and get pollinated). This evening, I discovered that something has eaten a large hole in one of the zucchini blossom buds. Would this be the work of squash bugs? Thank you all in advance and have a wonderful evening. – Janine

It could be! It will be very difficult to say what is doing the damage without catching it in the act, however.
I would recommend broad spectrum pesticides, either organic or synthetic, to keep insect pests away. Here are some articles that will help:
