  
Leaf Beetles
Leaf feeding beetles are quite diverse in size and appearance. In some cases only the adult beetle feeds on foliage; in other cases, both the adult and the worm, or grub stage, feed on the plant. Sizes range from 1/8 inch (flea beetles) to 1 inch or more (June beetles). Leaf feeding beetle adults may be drab (brown or black) or brightly colored. The grubs may be cream colored with no markings to colored with stripes and spots. All leaf feeding beetles have chewing mouthparts. When they feed, plant tissue is consumed leaving holes in the plant parts which have been fed upon.
