Just another leaf beetle? No! I noticed the orange stripe – or margin – along the side of this beetle. It has a black shiny, dimpled body and bobbly antennae. It loves buttercups and can be found wherever there are buttercups (or members of the buttercup family) growing, such as meadows and grassy banks.
