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.

The 28-spotted Potato Ladybird or the Hadda Beetles (Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata) are destroying a bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) plant by breaking off and eating its flowers, and their larvae grubs are scraping the leaves together by the lower epidermis of leaves in a characteristic manner, leaving behind stripes of uneaten areas. The leaves are giving a stifled appearance and are being eaten off, leaving only the veins intact (skeletonization), and the plants may wither. Sometimes these beetle pairs are mating in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 6, 2024.
