Biology
Some members of the subgenus Zygogramma are agricultural pests, while others are used as biological control agents. Calligrapha exclamationis is a pest species of sunflower crops in North America.[5] At least two species have also been used as a form of biological pest control: Calligrapha bicolorata was introduced to India as a biocontrol agent for the weed Parthenium hysterophorus,[6] and Calligrapha suturalis was introduced to Russia as a control for Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed).[7]
