Versace Beetle

Nicknamed the Versace Beetle but commonly known as the Rosemary Beetle, the binomial name is Chysolina Americana. They look stunning in their shiny gold suits, gleaming in the sunshine. But don't be taken in by them.

This is one mean pest, nothing wants to eat it and it'll decimate Rosemary, lavender and anything related to them. Even the winter hasn't deterred them this year.

The wiki link below gives some more info but my only real comment is that should you see them remove them by hand and stamp them into oblivion.

Peace and love
