Poplar Leaf Beetle
Chrysomela populi
The adult poplar leaf beetle lives on poplars and willows, where it feeds on leaves and searches for mates. Its glossy red body and dark markings stand out on foliage, while its hard wing covers protect the folded flight wings beneath. Adults can fly between host trees and may release defensive chemicals when threatened.
