Demotina modesta is a species of leaf beetle.[2][3][4][5] It is an adventive species in the southeastern United States in North America, while its native range includes Japan and Korea.[5] It is very abundant on oaks. It is known to be parthenogenetic in part of its native range, and no males are known from North America.[6]
Biology
Demotina modesta is a summer breeder and probably hibernates as larvae or pupae. It lays eggs singly on the undersides of leaves and covers them with excrement.[7][8]
