Disonycha trifasciata, commonly known as the three-banded flea beetle, is a species of flea beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. The beetle is usually characterized by its shiny black body, adorned with three distinct white bands running across its elytra (the hardened forewings). Disonycha trifasciata is known for its impressive jumping ability, which it uses to escape predators.
