Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle is a very important defoliator of potatoes in many potato-growing areas of the world. This insect has a diverse and flexible life history that is well-suited to a variety of environmental conditions. It is also extremely adaptable to adverse conditions, including those created by humans in an attempt to control the pest. The beetles integrate diapause, dispersal, feeding, and reproduction into an ecological “bet-hedging” strategy, distributing their offspring in both space (within and between host habitats) and time (within and between seasons). As a result, they are a very challenging pest to manage.
