Dear Michael,

They look like small Crysomelid ("flower") beetles, they might be a bitch to 
control or eradicate!

Good Luck,

Julius

>>Michael Pascall,

    Population explosion of these things . They seem to be eating holes in 
the plants , a nearby Costus is severly affected . All the new growth in the 
rainforest after the recent Cyclone has upset the natural balance . I am 
always hesitant to spray , and when I do only use pyretherum or similar 
contact spray .
