Found this beauty in our asparagus bed on some of the foliage. Very tiny, less than 1/4" I guess. Thank you for looking.

Moved
Would suggest replacing this image with one that 1) doesn't include the inset and 2) cropped more so the insect is center and fills much of the field. Otherwise a nice, sharp pic.

Moved from ID Request.

Crioceris asparagi
Thank you and OH DEAR. Our beautiful specimen may turn out to be a problem for our asparagus patch. Good to know 'who' we have here.
