Asparagus beetle

Crioceris, or asparagus beetle, is a genus of the family Chrysomelidae of beetles.

The name is Neo-Latin from Greek κριός, ram and κέρας, horn.

[2] Not all species in the genus Crioceris feed on asparagus (e.g., C. nigropicta).

Some studies have found low genetic diversity among groups of isolated Chrysomelidae, and use Wolbachia species as a genetic marker.
