Altica lythri is a species of leaf beetle belonging to the Chrysomelidae family. It is metallic dark blue with a relatively small size (55 mm) than other beetles in the genus Altica. It feeds on the leaves of plants such as weeds and is a beetle commonly found in Africa, Europe, and Asia. These photos were taken by me when two beetles were engrossed in copulation.
