Chrysophtharta bimaculata Olivier, 1807 Paropsisterna bimaculata is a beetle commonly called a leaf beetle in the subfamily Chrysomelinae.

This insect is common in Tasmania and can be a pest in the forestry industry.

[1] Paropsisterna bimaculata will develop a red colour just before their winter hibernation.

When they emerge the red slowly disappears into a pale green colouring with faint gold tessellation.

This takes about a month with the males generally slightly advanced.
