Arctotheca prostrata with feeding damage by beetle, Cassida sphaerula Boheman, 1853 (photos: S.

Note hirsute dorsal and ventral surfaces of host leaf. 14) Leaf with many feeding craters and single larva with exuvio-fecal shield; note feeding is only between veins. 15) Feeding craters, each with marginal cuticle roll.
