Beetles - Chrysolina hyperici

Beetles - Chrysolina hyperici
Glacier National Park, Glacier County, Montana, USA
July 8, 2007

Moved
Moved from Chrysolina to species page, because the reduced brillancy of the dorsal surface of the upper specimen suggest this sp.
For a certain seperation of the two Hypericum-feeders, inspection of male genitalia is needed.

 
Thanks Boris!
Thanks Boris!

M & F?
Unless you saw these two mating I don't think there is a basis for declaring sex. These beetles are quite gregarious and are often seen in clusters on the same stem. This may just be a cluster of two :-)

plant IS Hypericum
note small dark dots on stem and leaf margin (oil caverns).

This looks like the leaf beetle
that people find on Hypericum. See here

Chrysolina
