Brachys tesselatus
Brachys tesselatus is a species of a leaf-mining beetle, primarily distributed along the southeast coast of the United States. Its distribution corresponds with the turkey oak, its main host plant. Although B. tesselatus primarily feeds and mines on turkey oak leaves, its impact on the host species is limited, allowing for the survival of both species.
