Disonycha
Disonycha leaf beetles are a diverse group of insects belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. They are commonly known as flea beetles due to their ability to jump long distances. They are herbivorous and primarily feed on the leaves of various plants, sometimes causing significant damage to crops. Disonycha species often target specific plants, such as members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) and other broadleaf plants.
