Description
The Erthesina genus, often found in warmer climates, boasts distinct yellow and black markings that make them visually fascinating. Contrary to the belief that such brightly colored insects are poisonous, Erthesina species are actually harmless to humans. These vibrant colors serve as a warning to predators rather than an indication of toxicity. Interestingly, Erthesina have a significant impact on agricultural systems by feeding on a variety of crops, making them a topic of considerable research in pest management strategies.
