Timarcha goettingensis, commonly known as the Small Bloody-nosed Beetle or the Lesser Bloody-nosed Beetle is a species of leaf beetle native to Europe.[1] [2]
Description
T. goettingensis is a shiny blue-black, violet-copper, or black beetle measuring 8–13 mm in length.[1][2] Visually it may be confused with Timarcha tenebricosa, but this beetle is larger (11–18 mm) and is more constricted on the base of its pronotum than T. goettingensis.[3] Timarcha goettingensis may also be visually confused with Chrysolina sturmi.[1]
