Calligrapha Beetle, same population but slightly different markings - Calligrapha rowena
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
September 21, 2002
I just posted two photographs of another individual from this group of Calligraphas that was feeding together. Note that on the beetle shown here, the white surrounds the funnel-shaped marking, while on the other beetle I've posted, the reddish color touches the dark funnel.
