Chrysolina hyperici - France
After seeing one from America being uploaded and having the only other one currently on JD from Austrlia, while on both continents the beetle was introduced for biological control, I figured we should have at least one here from the original continent :o)
Oldish image - should have better, but apparently not on this laptop ...
