BE AWARE: NEW INVASIVE BEETLE SPECIES The invasive dotted paropsine leaf beetle (Paropsis atomaria), is rapidly spreading across Southern California, feeding on over 20 eucalyptus species and causing severe defoliation. Now recently identified in Rolling Hills, its fast reproduction and clustering behavior make it a serious concern for urban forests. This beetle is easily identified by bright yellow/orange markings and black spots on wing cases. Females can lay 20-100 eggs in a circular cluster on young stems and leaves. The University of California Agricultural and Natural Resources recommends hiring a professional for insecticide applications to prevent the spread.
