# Lately many have complained about the attack of beetles on plants. where the beetle larvae feed on the leaves of the plant and in an instant the leaves will run out. ![image]() These invading pests attack the plants and leaves. They have a very small size with an average body length of 6 mm and body width of only 2-3mm. Breeding by laying eggs where once spawn this beetle can produce eggs between 50-100 eggs, so the development of pests is also quite fast.

These beetles hatch in a very short time only takes 2 days only this egg will hatch and turn into larvae. The success rate of this egg hatches between 70-80%.

The beetle larvae that are 1 day after the hatch will be able to eat the shoots of Tin leaf, and the beetle's larvae are very greedy, which can damage the leaves of the Tin plant.

The adult larva that will turn into a beetle will fall to the ground and enter the ground. Then it turns into a cocoon and hatches back into a beetle.
