Ravenous leaf beetle (Orsodacne atra)

Reveler Conservation Area

The name is not my comment on the beetle! It belongs to a family of Chrysomeloidea leaf beetles called Orsodacnidae, the Ravenous Leaf Beetles.

Thanks to Boris B. at iNaturalist for ID.

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great capture of this very interestingly named beetle. I wonder if it lives up to its name. V.
