Leaf beetles on Alder - Altica guatemalensis

Leaf beetles on Alder - Altica guatemalensis
Beaver Creek, Montezuma Wells, Yavapai County, Arizona, USA
May 29, 2010
Size: 7-8mm
Really doing a job on those Alder leaves - the larvae skelletonizing and the adults eating from the side of the leaves. Behaving very much like the European Agelastica alni, but these in Arizona are jumpers (Flea Beetles).
