Small beetle larvae, maybe Neotriplax lewisii... These were found in a swarm on one plant, with many more on other leaves and stems. I think they are Neotriplax lewisii beetle larvae. Japan,beetle larvae,interesting,macro Click/tap to enlarge

    I would say that they look more like leaf beetle larvae (Chrysomelidae). I'm not sure of the exact species, though. Posted 2 years ago
