Beetle - Aulacophora
Hello Everyone..
Maybe you are familiar with this one beetle, if you have ever planted a pumpkin or you have been to a pumpkin garden, you will often encounter this beetle.
It is Aulacophora, is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as the pumpkin beetle; some species are pests of agricultural crops.
Maybe you will ask, why are pumpkin leaves hollow? the answer is because of this beetle that eats the pumpkin leaves.
Characteristically this beetle is quite interesting. With a brown appearance and two horns above the eyes, this beetle looks even more attractive.
And coincidentally, I found it in the morning. This can be seen on the back which is still wet due to the dew that fell at night. This further makes the appearance of this beetle look fresher.
That's all from me on this occasion, see you in the next insect post.
