Disonycha discoidea
Parkwood, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
June 20, 2005
Size: 10 mm
Shows detail of underside. Larger of two is 10 mm in length. Found on Passiflora lutea.
This is a presumptive ID. I'd seen the adults on the plant a few weeks earlier, and these certainly look to be leaf beetle larvae.
