Paropsisterna agricola
Paropsisterna agricola (southern eucalyptus leaf beetle) is a small variable-colored leaf beetle that can be a timber plantation pest.
Paropsisterna agricola, commonly known as the southern eucalyptus leaf beetle, is a small hemispherical leaf beetle. Its body color can range between golden and grey. It has black markings on its pronotum, and its epipleura, also called the skirt, is sometimes red. This species can grow its population very quickly, and it can become a commercial pest for the timber industry by attacking plantation forests.
