Golden Tortoise Beetle? - Charidotella sexpunctata
Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA
July 24, 2016
Looking for Golden Tortoise Beetles in gold form on the morning glory vines and found this guy. Appears to be the disturbed orange form - possibly "disturbed" by the heat today - in the mid-nineties! Could not get a close shot - they are very quick to fly when they are warmed up. Might try again in the relative cool of the morning.
