“Larvae follow generally a similar pattern as described above, but species of Brachynus (bombardier beetles) are external parasites (“parasitoids” is a better term as the larva kills its host) of whirligig beetle (Gyrinidae) pupae, and those of Lebias are external parasites of leaf beetle (Chrysomelidae) pupae.”
“So this time, the Phyllophagas and Anomalas that 'rained' down on our lights a month ago were nearly absent, Chrysina gloriosa appeared, but only two specimens. There were only very few Lebias (Colorful Foliage Ground Beetles).”
