#1509 - Calligrapha pantherina - Sida Leaf Beetle

Photo by Ren Field, who found it at Mt Garnet in Queensland.

A Leaf Beetle introduced from Mexico in 1989 to control the common wireweed (Sida acuta) and the arrowleaf sida (Sida rhombifolia). Since it worked quite well here, it’s also been introduced to Papua, Fiji and Vanuatu. Unfortunately, since then it made its own way to New Caledonia, which has native Sida species.

First #Calligrapha of the season. I think it’s C. confluens, but will key it later. #insects #nature #beetles #Chrysomelidae #ParksCanada #CapeBretonHighlands #Coleoptera (at Cape Breton Highlands National Park)
