Silana farinosa is recorded as a pest of curry leaves, Murraya koenigii. Very common in every area in Sri Lanka. These chrisomelid beetles spent their entire lives on the leaves. A female laid eggs as an ootheca (see that in last picture). Both adult and larvae act as damaging instars (1st pic and second). In the third picture you can observe the pupa of S. farinosa.

Nigh Safari with dear Uncle😍✨He came from Dubai after two years.He was the one who taught me how to catch frogs when I was 4years😁Those days,I was so afraid of them.but he was a good teacher and taught me how to get them to hands.He is not a zoologist, naturalist or anyone.But,a very good person who coloured our childhood.He taught us how to climb trees,how to ride bicycles,how to swim,how to be with nature.He was the first one who motivated me to observe.When I was 4years old ,everyday he took us for small field trips around our little gardens while we were brushing teeth.😍Those were very lovely memories.So,during those small field trips,he showed us different animals.(Not their species😁Just as a "frog,snake,worm,bird".
Anyway now,I go on small field trips with him during night when I'm free..😁❤️Now,I teach him about animals during night when go out.Thanks to him,we learnt a lot.This observation did with him and here the leg is his leg🙂Thanks again my dear uncle for teaching us those lessons durin my childhood.🙏❤️Love u a lot❤️
