Calligrapha
Copyright © 2005 Stephen Luk

Calligrapha
Mount Sainte-Anne, Perce, Gaspe Peninsula County, Quebec, Canada
August 22, 2005
Size: 8 mm
Found along a cliff-side trail, on the leaf of a plant which was not identified. This specimen exhibits some asymmetrical patterning on the elytra. I identified it as C. rowena, based on the specimen on the Guide d'identification d'insectes du Québec site.
