Chrysolina americana (Rosemary leaf-beetle):
Hi,
Today I was working on an allotment project at the Halton Brook children's centre in Runcorn (SJ52908192) and I found this colourful beetle. The photograph is not brilliant and I've not come across this beetle before but I am sure this is Chrysolina americana (Rosemary leaf-beetle) ?
How common are they?
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul
Nice find of a stunning beetle - hardly any previous records. For more info look back through the messages and you will see a previous report of this in Cheshire by Steve McWilliam and my reply. Don't forget to put the record in RODIS !
Cheers

Hi,
Only just read this. I had a Rosemary Beetle in my garden in Great Sankey, Warrington in October 2009. First time I had seen one.
