Orange-blue Narrow-necked Leaf Beetles - ? Lema sp.

FAMILY CHRYSOMELIDAE 

This page contains pictures and information about Orange-blue Narrow-necked Leaf Beetles that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 10mm 

 

The leaf beetles in subfamily Criocerinae have the narrow thorax, so the common name Narrow-necked Leaf Beetle. This Narrow-necked Leaf Beetle has the orange head, thorax and legs with blue wing-covers. We called it the Orange-blue Narrow-necked Leaf Beetle.

  

 

 

We found this Narrow-necked Leaf Beetle once in Ford Road Conservation Area on Mar 2011. The beetle was flying. We followed the flying beetle and took those pictures when it rested on leaf.
