The Pumpkin Beetle is a leaf beetle (family Chrysomelidae), which is one of the largest beetle families with approximately 3,000 Australian species. At least 250 of these occur in the Sydney area. Most leaf beetles are colourful, and both the larvae and adults eat plant material. Some are serious commercial pests. This particular beetle is of concern to gardeners as it feeds on the leaves and flowers of cucumbers, melons and of course pumpkins. The larvae feed on the roots.
