The eucalyptus tortoise beetle is an Australian leaf beetle (family Chrysomelidae), now found throughout southern California, in the Central Valley, and in the San Francisco Bay Area. Adult beetles and larvae chew semicircular or irregular notches along edges of eucalyptus leaves. The beetles can remove most of a leaf’s surface, leaving only the midvein.
