Calligraphic Beetles (Calligrapha species)

Calligraphic beetles belong the Family Chrysomelidae, the leaf-eating beetles. Many of these attractively patterned beetles typically occur on only one species of tree, for example dogwoods, or alder, or willow, although this is by no means a hard and fast rule.
