Phaedon
tumidulus  |
||
| This small leaf beetle is not immediately colourful, but when seen in close up, proves to be quite attractively coloured. Phaedon tumidulus is an extremely common species, the adults and larvae of which feed on various Umbelliferous plants. Plants can become so eaten that most of the leaf area is lost by late Summer. This is a small member of the Chrysomelidae group of leaf beetles, with an average length of around 3-4mm. This beetle is common throughout the Eakring area, appearing from late May and early June onwards. | ||
