Willow Calligrapha beetle (Calligrapha multipunctata)

Another view of the beetles I posted earlier. These belong to the Chrysomelidae family of beetles, almost all of which are very attractively patterned and coloured. These are on a willow leaf, which is the best place to look for this particular species of calligraphic beetle.

I love their black on white markings. I can see how they got their name. It looks like some foreign writing. Fantastic detail and capture. V.
