Leaf beetles are one of the largest groups of beetles, with tens of
thousands of species worldwide and around 280 in Britain. They
belong mainly to the family Chrysomelidae, but also to two small
closely related families, the Megalopodidae and Orsodacnidae. This
book provides a comprehensive overview with detailed and accessible
coverage of the natural history, ecology and biology of leaf
beetles. Topics cover the life history of leaf beetles, biology,
their environment, natural enemies and interactions with humans.
There is a thorough discussion about identification of British
species, including detail on the juvenile stages (eggs, larvae,
pupae) and a concise key to adults. A chapter is dedicated to study
techniques and materials. The book is illustrated throughout with
colour photographs and line drawings. Leaf beetles is a vital
resource for entomology students and educators, naturalists, nature
conservationists, those involved in agriculture, horticulture and
the management of stored produce.
