| Video Discription | The cereal leaf beetle, (Oulema melanopus) is a small but significant pest that primarily affects cereal crops, such as wheat, barley, oats, and rye. It belongs to the family Chrysomelidae, which comprises a large number of leaf beetles. Originating in Europe, the cereal leaf beetle has spread to various parts of the world, including North America. The adult cereal leaf beetle is about 3-4 mm long and typically has an elongated oval shape. Its body color can vary but is commonly shiny metallic blue-black. The elytra (hardened forewings) often have a distinctive reddish-brown border, creating a characteristic appearance. The larvae, on the other hand, are yellow or orange and have a slim, cylindrical body with three pairs of legs near the head. The life cycle of the cereal leaf beetle generally involves four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult beetles typically emerge in the spring, feeding on emerging foliage and laying eggs on the undersides of leaves. The eggs are oval, yellowish, and laid in clusters. Once hatched, the larvae start feeding on the leaves and go through several molting stages as they grow. They cause damage by consuming the leaf tissue, creating a characteristic "windowpane" effect on the leaves. After completing their development, the larvae pupate in the soil, and adult beetles emerge later to continue the cycle. Both larvae and adult cereal leaf beetles can cause significant damage to cereal crops by consuming leaf tissue. This can result in reduced photosynthesis, stunted growth, and decreased crop yield. Severe infestations can lead to substantial economic losses for farmers. Additionally, the feeding activity of the larvae creates a distinct "skeletonizing" pattern on the leaves, which is often a visual indicator of their presence. In conclusion, the cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus) is a noteworthy agricultural pest known for its distinctive metallic appearance and its ability to damage cereal crops through its feeding habits. ==================================================== Camera: Nikon D5500 Lens : AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8G ED Video taken with camera on tripod.
