This book is intended to be a "guided tour" through the extensive literature on
one of the largest families of insects, the family of leaf beetles, or the family Chrysomelidae.
It is an introduction to their biology and their agricultural importance as crop pests. An
account of chrysomelid food is included, and interesting deviations from their phytophagy
are described. Also covered are the various defence mechanisms exhibited by leaf beetles
against parasites and predators.
