Lilioceris
Scientific name: Lilioceris
Description
Lilioceris are often noted for their striking red. While their vibrant colors might suggest danger, these markings actually serve as a warning to predators about their unpalatability. Contrary to the belief that brightly colored insects are always toxic, Lilioceris predominantly uses these colors as a bluff, having only mild toxins insufficient to deter all predators. They primarily feed on lilium and fritillaria plants.
