Rainbow Leaf Beetle
Chrysolina cerealis
Adult rainbow leaf beetles inhabit upland grasslands, rocky slopes, and herb-rich mountain areas. They feed on the foliage of plantains and other low-growing plants, often basking in sunshine between meals. Their metallic, rainbow-colored wing cases make them one of the most striking leaf beetles in their range.
