Melanchra adjuncta

Submitted by: ignatius
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I have only taken one picture so far but could go out and take more. This critter is very much enjoying eating my bok choy crop. I have several hundred still in the field, so I think I could find another easily by looking for the crop damage. Currently it has been a cool wet summer here is Guelph, Ontario.
