Chrysolina
fastuosa (Scopoli,
1763)  |
||
| Chrysolina fastuosa is a stunning beetle and a species which, despite some people telling us it's common, it certainly does'nt seem to be. Despite knowing of one site at Shelford in the Trent Valley where it can be found on White Dead-nettle (Lamium album) we searched everywhere we went for nearly two years, before finding numerous adults on Common Hemp Nettle (Galeopsis tetrahit) growing by the River Meden in early July 2011 and May 2012. | ||
