Israel Insect World

Observing Adesmia abbreviata is very common. However, recently was the first time for me to notice one specimen eating a dry leaf. It was interesting to see how it holds the leaf with its fore legs and chewing it with its mandibles.

P.S.

Oz, If I am not mistaken the Adesmia photo in the site (first one in the Tenebrionidae family) lacks title of species name, you might want to add it.f

Hi Dror,

This photo (like in the Carabidae and some butterflies pages) was meant to be more as a headline

photo. However as you already brought it up I think these should be removed.

In general the Tenebrionidae page like many others should go through a re-decoration like I did with

the Scarabs. In order to make ID by photos easy (and not to force poor people open all photo in seperate 

I will create a gallery page for each family with all species in small photos. It will take time though...:roll:
