Certainly a chrysomelid. If you know the plant it was on it might facilitate identification. And the tiny thing behind it might just be a beetle turd.

Hello! I think it's a Chrysolina species, possibly C. oricalcia. But I don't know whether there are additional similar species in Portugal, so let's wait for the specialists. http://www.koleop...ehler.html Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
