Flea Beetle _5162
The striped flea beetle (Phyllotreta striolata) is a small flea beetle, shiny black with a greenish tinge, 1.5 to 2.5 mm long, having a wavy amber line running the length of each elytron (wing cover). It is a pest of cabbage and other brassicas. When disturbed they use their powerful hind legs to jump away like a flea - hence, the name flea beetle.
The striped flea beetle were introduced from Eurasia, and is considered a pest.
Thanks Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - now I know.
Waiting for spring - going through some old folders.
