Chrysomela - Chrysomela knabi
Thornhill, Ontario, Canada
June 11, 2008
Using the Audubon Field Guide to Insects and Spiders, it looks like this is Chrysomela lapponica. There is no guide page for this species. Can someone confirm my ID so we can start one? There are some similar looking images in the Chrysomela section that may need a new home too.

strange
In the Audubon guide the orange on the pronotum is quite clear. I'm fairly certain that this was found on a young cottonwood tree.
