Cucurbit Leaf Beetle

Thanks martinl & Ashish for confirming and sharing your opinions.....

I surprised to find a Beetle and a Moth Genus had same name...

You must correct if checking this picture...

Ashish there are two differences between our two beetles suggestions, one is their hostplant and the other is the category. Yours are flea beetles and have larger hindlegs. My suggestion has legs all similar thickness as in the spotting of Sachin. We must also consider if it is a female flea beetle and may not have large hindlegs legs, then foodsource and other spottings is useful for ID.

Thanks martinl for ID,
I capture this one at public garden and there are mainly sunflower plants, chikoo trees, Frangipani and others,

Yes probably, I am noticing another similar species such as Aulacophora africana. http://www.flickr.com/photos/47108884@N0... Yours would be A. indica (indica = india) I would be interested to know if it is nearby to pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini, or other melons. Nice bug, I love all leaf beetles, even if farmers don't.

@ martinl is this the same as you just suggested to swathyraja

look to be Scarlet Lily beetle
