little lovers - Exosoma lusitanica

Exosoma lusitanicum or Daffodil leaf beetle is a species of skeletonizing leaf beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Galerucinae.
These beetles are quite common, their length is 6-8 mm and the colour is red-orange. Larvae feed on bulbs of Amaryllidaceae (for instance Narcissus tazetta) and Liliaceae species, while adults feed on flowers of several wild plants, mainly Asteraceae species and are potentially dangerous for vineyards.

For the sound, I found this exquisite track: Lovers performed by Shigeru Umebayashi
