EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Rundstedt B. Rovillos showcases the intriguing Celtis Leaf Beetle, Menippus cynicus, in all its glory. The image captures both the adults and larvae of this fascinating species as they feast on the young foliage of introduced Chinese Elm trees (Celtis sinensis), which are considered a pest tree species in Brisbane. The larvae, resembling black caterpillars, play a crucial role in the life cycle of these beetles. Native to central coastal Queensland, where they primarily feed on Celtis paniculata trees, these beetles have recently expanded their range further south and can now be commonly found in Brisbane. Measuring about 10 mm in length, this beetle exhibits an oval-shaped and convex body with a dull brown coloration that contrasts beautifully with its black underside. Its intricate features are meticulously captured within this stunning photograph. Rovillos' skillful composition allows us to appreciate the delicate details of this remarkable insect while shedding light on its ecological impact. This artwork serves as a reminder of nature's complexity and adaptability as it navigates new environments. A true testament to biodiversity's ability to thrive even amidst changing circumstances.
