Rosemary Beetle (Chrysolina americana) found on Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) in a Glasgow garden. Despite the specific name 'americana', it is native to southern Europe, where its food plant Rosemary grows. It came into Britain in the 1990s, when it was first found in London, and has since spread to many parts of the UK, including Central Scotland. It is probable that part of its spread is due to being imported on Rosemary plants.
