Crioceris, or asparagus beetle, is a genus of the family Chrysomelidae of beetles. The name is neo-Latin from Greek κριός, ram and κέρας, horn. [2] Not all species in the genus Crioceris feed on asparagus (e.g., C. nigropicta). Some studies have found low genetic diversity among groups of isolated Chrysomelidae, and use Wolbachia species as a genetic marker.[3]

gollark: I always wondered whether that meant I wasn't allowed to remember any of them, or (for ebooks) display them on my computer at all, or make backups.

gollark: I mean, books always have that filler text at the start saying "do not reproduce, store or use this in any way whatsoever without the permission of the publisher" or something like that.
