Unusual Leaf Feeding? Could be Red Headed Flea Beetle

Noticing some unusual leaf feeding in your fields? As Pioneer Field Agronomist Matt Montgomery explains, it could be red headed flea beetles. Red headed flea beetles are a leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae and are distantly related to bean leaf beetle and corn rootworms. While not detrimental to yield, like any other pest, it can negatively impact a plant by munching on its leaves.
