strawberry flea beetle
Altica ignita, commonly known as the strawberry flea beetle, is a flea beetle species in the family Chrysomelidae. It occurs in North America. As a member of the genus Altica, it shares the characteristic enlarged hind femora that enable flea beetles to jump when disturbed. The common name suggests an association with strawberry plants, though specific host relationships require confirmation.
