These data were collected by students at Agnes Scott College in Spring 2022. Beetles were reared on black-eyed peas. Beetles were from the LB strain adapted to their host bean for many generations. Beetles were both male and females. Beetles were adults. Beetles were surface-sterilized. Beetles were extracted with QIAGEN DNA-Easy kits. Sequences are for the v4 region. MiSeq sequencing was done by MrDNA labs. For more information, contact Jen Kovacs at jkovacs@agnesscott.edu.
