Chrysolina sturmi

Chrysolina sturmi is a metallic purple beetle of the family Chrysomelidae, and it can be found in Europe and western Asia. The adult beetle grows to between 6 and 10 millimetres in length, which is 0.24 to 0.39 inches. It feeds on plants of three kinds, Glechoma hederacea, Galium and Cirsium, so it is a plant eater that lives where those plants grow. The English Wikipedia article on the species is short, and the only external link it lists is an insect picture site, so little else is recorded there about the beetle's life cycle, habitat or conservation.
