Crioceris duodecimpunctata
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Criocera dai dodici punti
COLEOPTERA (POLYPHAGA)
CHRYSOMELIDAE

Temibile nemica degli orti, la larva si nutre di cucurbitacee e altri ortaggi. Predilige gli asparagi (anch’io ma insieme all’uovo)

4-5 millimetri di lunghezza

Caratterizzata dai 12 punti neri, sei per elitra.

Si presenta con 2 generazioni. Gli adulti compaiono in primavera e depongono le uova, a giugno, sui rametti più giovani. Le larve si nutrono delle parti aeree della pianta ospite, vivono isolate e si impupano nel terreno. A luglio-agosto si presentano gli adulti della seconda generazione.

Ciao Silvio,
An excellent macro of this colourful 12-spotted Chrysomelid beetle. As it is only less than 5 mm long the sharpness and details are superb and well shown from a dorsal POV against the yellow flower petal.
Thanks and all the best,
Ciao,
Ivan

Ciao Silvio. Dovevo essere io a postare un rossonero oggi invece ci hai pensato tu! Hai trovato il rivale a tavola? Gran luce e ottimo dettaglio. Pov non proprio facile. Doppi complimenti quindi!

Hi Silvio!

These colours are incredible! It's a real festival... and an eye-candy! The harsh colour contrasts create a pleasant effect.

Kind regards

Markus

Ciao Silvio,
This Coleoptera is a real jewel, specially with you fantastic presentation and light. Perfect sharpness and management of light (not easy on yellow flowers). TFS,
Catherine

ciao Silvio...alla faccia del tempaccio e del freddo ci rituffiamo in piena primavera con questa magnifica e colorata cattura
ciao sERGIO

Hi Sivio

A very colourful beetle. Great macro for only 5mm long. Good sharpness and details. The only nit I have is that the there is a few blow-outs on the yellow flower :). But apart from that it is a fine shot.

Exceptional work my friend.
TFS and have a nice night!

Vaya captura Silvio... supongo que lo debiste disfrutar; nos la presentas en una bella bandeja dorada que aún hace que la toma sea más hermosa.
Un expléndido trabajo.

Hello Silvio,

This image is so full of summer feeling, I think it is the vivid colours..!
The situation is well framed with superb details in the beetle, and the brownish colours contrast well with the shining flower petal...

Ciao Silvio,mi sembra un po' troppo esposta e contrastata,succede spesso anche a me con i ranuncoli metallizzati di avere zone bianche al posto del giallo,in compenso la nitidezza e' davvero eccezzionale! Buona giornata,Luciano

Bonjour Silvio,
Voilà un coléoptère bien coloré et qui s'est posé sur une fleur lumineuse. Un duo qu'on ne peut pas manquer! Et en plus un insecte rarement montré sur TN¨! Encore une fois bravo.
Bonne journée

Hello Silvio,
A lovely capture of this bright beetle showing details clearly and the colours are beautiful even though a bit o/e. A fine composition too.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Ciao Silvio,
Your macro lens plus your savoir faire have created an incredible photo: this little animal appears to be covered with pollen. Taking in consideration the size of 4-5 mm, it is incredible to see all the other bits and pieces in focus.

I just wonder, why you took it SO FAST - thereby having a small depth of field and the bottom of the body out of focus.

Having said this - I still think - your photo is very instructive: the enormous eyes sticking out to the left and right, obviously to have a bigger horizon and seeing enemies.

The tiny hooks at the end of the legs are - I assume - to hold on to leaves, and not been blown away by a gust of wind. The contrast between the Beetle, the yellow petals is very well supported by the green background.

It is called in English: Twelve-spotted asparagus beetle - Very active, they fly and attack the first asparagus shoots - and I assume they are a pest... (They mate and lay during flowering.) Are there Asparagus growers in/around Spoleto?

I am pleased you posted this tiny Insect and hope, you yourself do not try to grow asparagus...

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,
Ciao,
Ingrid
