This lil guy is an Eight Spotted Leaf Beetle, chosen because I saw one at work the other day. Leaf Beetles are a diverse family of beetles. In Australia they are common in Eucalypts, Acacias and Melaleuca's along with other native plant species.

This little cutie-pie, and I do mean little at about 3mm or so, is possibly a Willow Flea Beetle - Crepidodera aurata. If not then it's certainly in that genus 😅 Gorgeous little beets 😍 #insect #insects #macro #macrophotography #olympusem1mk3 #leafbeetle #chrysomelidae
These metallic leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae family) were captured in natural light using the Sony A7R IVa and Tamron 90mm macro lens. Watching them feed and climb

A russett alder leaf beetle between two pale leaves, facing right. The beetle is mostly brown. Its head looks like a metallic brown. Its wings are a rich brown with white streaks all the way down, with a brown circle near the head. Its legs are a reddish-brown color.

A group of leaf beetles clustered together and eating a leaf.
Spotted these hungry little fellows while out walking. They appear to be some kind of #leafbeetle but searching online didn't help with figuring out which specifically.

Saw this flashy guy today, mostly certain it's a Cottonwood Leaf Beetle. (Chrysomela Scripta[?])
Totally in love with the decorative look he's rocking. ✨️

Experimental design for comparing laid oothecae among the three leaf beetle species. The upper panel shows the species examined. The left illustration depicts the common rearing method. The middle panel shows each treatment and the control. The dotted line panel indicates treatments analysed using generalized linear mixed model (i.e., ‘intra-’ and ‘inter-’).
