Flea Beetle

Gardens, agricultural fields, and meadows, specifically on the underside of host plant leaves.

Adults chew small, circular holes (shotholes) in leaves; larvae feed on the roots of host plants.

Known for their jumping ability when disturbed, similar to a flea; they overwinter as adults in leaf litter or soil near host plants.

Significant agricultural pests that can cause severe defoliation and transmit plant diseases like bacterial wilt and potato blight.
