Abstract
The age of Colorado beetles can be determined, for at least 20–23 days after emergence, by means of the colour of the membranous hind‐wings. The colour changes are described and a series of colour reproductions illustrate the appearance of a selection of wings during the first 25 days after emergence from the soil.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
