Description
While this False Potato Beetle feeds on leaves and sometimes flowers, it is not nearly as destructive as the similar looking Colorado Potato Beetle. The back view of this beetle on some Hosta flower buds shows off the amazing designs on its back. To me, the designs have the look of hand-tooled leather, or a decorated Easter egg. While many would consider this beetle a pest, I found it beautiful!
