Chrysomeline
Definitely chrysomeline and since it was found near the water's edge look for swamp milkweed, Bidens or dogwood as a host. If the first turns out to be the host then it is Labidomera clivicolis and unusual that it is red-orange. If it is Bidens then Calligrapha bidenticola is likely. Any shrub or tree, including dogwoods, would place it as a Calligrapha. Definitely need a host plant for further ID.
