Leaf beetle

Les coléoptères (Coleoptera) sont un ordre d'Insectes holométaboles dotés d'élytres protégeant leurs ailes. Le mot « coléoptère » vient du grec κολεός / koleós « fourreau » et πτερόν / pterón « aile ». Il s'agit de l'ordre animal qui comporte le plus grand nombre d'espèces décrites.

The beetle family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as leaf beetles, includes over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making it one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the specifics of leaf beetle taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on a variety of plant tissue, with some being specialists of particular species or families of plant.
