Viburnum Beetle
Latin name: Pyrrhalta viburni
The Viburnum Beetle is a small golden brown beetle measuring around 5 mm long. They are nearly always associated with plants of the Viburnum family.
The Viburnum Beetle feeds on such plants as Viburnum opulus (Guelder Rose), Viburnum lantana (Wayfaring Tree) and as well as garden varieties of Viburnum.
The adult beetle’s lay their eggs on the tips of young shoots that then hatch into larvae in early summer. The larvae eat the leaves before pupating in the ground.
Adult beetles emerge in July and August.
