Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina, USA

We found this guy in early spring in the leaf litter. We assume that means they overwinter as adults. Don't know which species.

I don't think it is ignota. B
I don't think it is ignota as the arcuate band isn't quite right. Best to place it as just Calligrapha sp until host is figured out.
