Red-bodied beetle w/black & white elytra - Calligrapha bidenticola
Kingman Island Park, District of Columbia, USA
May 23, 2020
Size: <7mm
ID notes for Zygogramma suturalis (vs Calligrapha bidenticola) reference the color of the epipleuron.... The middle photo is probably not helpful, but posting it just in case. On mugwort plant (mugwort is currently the dominant herb).
