Spotted Maize Beetle
Astylus atromaculatus
Astylus atromaculatus is a species of beetles in the family Melyridae. It is variously known as the Spotted Maize Beetle, or Pollen Beetle. It is indigenous to Argentina and neighbouring countries, but has been accidentally imported into various other regions such as the warmer regions of North America and much of Africa, where it has become invasive.
