OK, me again. My zuke leaves are covered din dark copper colored spots. What kind of bug can this be?

It sounds like rust, a catch-all name for a class of moulds. Avoid wetting the leaves when watering, try to promote air circulation if possible and treat with wettable sulphur or other fungicide.

if you have to water your plants, do so in the morning. Water in the evening with night coming on, you're just asking for problems. Namely rust.

Indeed, I am sure that's what I did wrong. And all that moisture just attracts more slugs. I think what may have done it was this water based insecticide I used at night. I was dosuing them with Spinosad at night so as to not harm any bees.
