Mexican Bean Beetle Pupae - Agricultural Pest - Animal India
A Mexican bean beetle pupa is seen on the underside of a leaf at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 1, 2025. The bright yellow, oval-shaped, soft-bodied larvae are covered with small black fuzzy spines and feed between the veins, removing the lower epidermis of the leaf. The upper epidermis dies, resulting in a transparent, lacy appearance. Damaged tissue falls out, and skeletonized leaves may curl and drop. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
