Field Notes

Description:

Per Martin Hauser: "Allograpta exotica is very similar to obliqua, but it has the Katepimeron black and the face has often a dark brown to black medial stripe, while in obliqua the katepisternum is yellow and the face is yellow or with a light brown stripe. A. obliqua is the more common, and more northern species"

Habitat:

Sage in backyard.
