Lily Pad Inhabitant #2, Pt. 2 - _TNY_2696

Just like the other water lily eating beetle I found the same day at lake Öjesjön here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51300419881/, this water lily leaf beetle (Galerucella nymphaeae) both eat the lily pads (like this one is doing) as well as lay their eggs there.
