      There were a couple of them in different positions staying absolutely still so I was very pleased with the sharpness of all the photos. Posted 12 years ago

The Colorado potato beetle

The Colorado potato beetle is an important pest of potato crops. It is approximately 10 millimetres long, with a bright yellow/orange body and five bold brown stripes along the length of each of its elytra. It can easily be confused with its close cousin and look-alike, the false potato beetle.
