Hi,

Yesterday I found these larvae on leaves of Populus (probably P. alba or P. canescens)
Doen anybody have a clue to which family/genus/species these larvae belong?

I think they are beetle larvae, possibly Curculionidae (if the have no visible legs) or Chrysomelidae.

I should have added that the larvae are about 1.5 mm long and were collected in Waalwijk (province of Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands).

Thanks Paul. I will try to make better pictures (sharp) and check if there are legs to be found! I will also take home a few and try to rear them.

I would probabably stay with Chrysomelidae. I think most Curculionidae larva develop inside something rather than on something like a leaf.

Hi Xespok,

Thank you for your response. I have been searching on the internet and came to the same conclusion! The larvae are probably chrysomelid larvae. Unfortunately rearing the larvae didn't succeed.

Perhaps Galerucella lineola (Chrysomelidae)
