Leaf beetle on bottle gentian - Kuschelina suturella

Leaf beetle on bottle gentian - Kuschelina suturella
Shaw Nature Reserve near Gray Summit, Franklin County, Missouri, USA
October 6, 2009
Size: 7 mm
This was just "sittin' there" on the gentian leaf, but similarity of surface texture (even more apparent in life) made me think there might be some sort of association.

Could be wrong but...
