Colaspis brunnea
Colaspis brunnea, the grape colaspis, is a species of leaf beetle from North America.[1][2][3][4] It mainly occurs in the eastern United States. It is a pest of crop such as corn and soybeans, but damage by it has not been documented as economically significant. It is univoltine, and overwinters in the soil as larvae.[5]
