Chrysolina hyperici  |
||
| A common species across the UK, Chrysolina hyperici is a beautifully coloured metallic beetle. The adults can be found wherever St John's Wort grows, eating the flowers and resting amongst the flower heads during the day. We found several of these in a sheltered part of Warsop Main Pit Top, where St John's Wort grows in very dry, stony conditions. Length around 6-7mm. | ||
