Beauty of Creativity : Imported willow leaf beetles
Good evening all friends of #BeautyOfCreativity (BOC)
fter arriving home I found a leaf beetles on the front leaf terrace of the house, I also tried to take some photos, but because they are so small and black, I have a little trouble getting the focus on the object.
The imported willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolor, resembles a black lady beetle. (Lady beetles are in a different family, and the black ones usually have orange spots of some sort.) Adult imported willow leaf beetles overwinter outdoors and emerge from their hibernation sites in spring. They feed for a while before females begin to lay eggs. Soon larvae hatch and all stages of the beetle can be found. Both stages feed on foliage of willows during the summer. At least two generations occur each year.
Imported willow leaf beetles attack the foliage of willows, cottonwood, and poplar (not tulip poplar). Adults notch and chew holes in the leaves, and their larvae skeletonize the leaves. From a distance, infested trees gradually turn off color and the tree may eventually appear to be dead. Although complete defoliation of a willow is not fatal, it's not good for it either!
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000)[citation needed] species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families.
