• Arsipoda spp. Flea beetle

  06 Dec 2018 • -38.1,141.8 • Lorraine Phelan

  Four photos. These shiny blue insects were on an unidentified rush sp. about 40cm high. They are quite lively and it was windy so hard to photograph. See also Jeff Tripett's photo from 3 Dec 2018.

  1. Jeff Triplett  Congrats on the photos. I think you mean Andrew Allens obs: https://natureshare.org.au/observations/5c0644a71779a4866a000028. My camera does not have that much magnification!

  3. David Francis  Not unlike Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Altica

     Reply • 06 Dec 2018

  5. David Francis  Andrew' suggestion looks very good too. Arispoda sp. Might have to leave it as subfamily Galerucinae which could be added.

     Reply • 06 Dec 2018

  6. • Andrew Allen  Actually is misspelt it. The genus is Arsipoda. See: http://www.bowerbird.org.au/observations/25085

     • • Lorraine Phelan  Looks like a match.

         Reply • 07 Dec 2018

  7. David Francis  Galerucinae subfamiy added.

     Reply • 06 Dec 2018

  9. David Francis  Yes, I think Arsipoda sp. (Flea beetle) is a good match. I can see the jumping hind legs. Arsipoda spp. added to db.

  1. David Francis  Interesting/distinctive markings on prey. Some sort of beetle or bug instar?

     Reply • 06 Dec 2018

  2. • Lorraine Phelan  Someone elsewhere has suggested larva of Pentatomidae sp., maybe 4th instar.

       Reply • 06 Dec 2018
