    Hi Ferdy, I hate to be a party-pooper, but the punctation really really looks a lot more like Gastrophysa viridula...
    The green Chrysomelinae can all be a pita to recognize properly. Chrysolina herbacea is quite rare in the Netherlands and with 7,3-10,6mm a good deal larger than Gastrophysa viridula (4,1-5,8mm).     Posted 6 years ago
