Metallic blue flea beetle commented on by DavidLeviston Victoria, Australia10 years ago

This is a flea beetle, Alticini, genus Arsipoda– one of the >100 species in Australia (its also found in NG, New Cal, SE Asia). Impossible to identify down to species (there are many metallic blue or green species). (Chris Reid)
I have found this species also in Ballarat

Unnamed spotting commented on by DavidLeviston Antipolo, Rizal, Philippines10 years ago

Common in the Philippines. I have seen quite a few down in General Santos.

Unknown spotting commented on by DavidLeviston Cagayan, Philippines10 years ago

This is a female and very common around Gen San. Females, I've noticed, out number males by at least 3:1. This would indicate that males are extremely active in mating.

Mayflies commented on by DavidLeviston India10 years ago

Hello. Can you tell me the dimensions of this mayfly, please? I have just photographed one (at night) in General Santos City, Philppines and they look very similar.

Acacia Leaf Beetle commented on by DavidLeviston Melbourne, Victoria, Australia10 years ago

So in fact, the female measures 8mm and the male 6mm. And they do seem to only live on sliver wattle. My most recent obsevations of the species have been today, 31 may 2013. The last day of Autumn. The observation also included mating.
