Cool #fasciation on our #Casuarina. Dozens of these tiny brown #beetles (maybe nitidulids?) ran out of it, could be the cause #PlantInsect

I have a #PhDposition open on Climate Change effects on plant-enemy interactions starting early 2023! If you are interested in #PlantInsect #Interaction and #PlantPathogen #Interactions, and how they are altered by #ClimateChange have a look! https://apply.refline.ch/273855/1408/pub/1/index.html
