Epicauta species? - Epicauta immaculata
East Fork State Park, Clermont County, Ohio, USA
June 8, 2010
I had high hopes for an ID when I took the photos but then when I got home I found similar individuals on "Temporary page: images seen and deemed unIDable by Dr. Pinto (Epicauta Temporary page: images seen and deemed unIDable by Dr. Pinto)".

I can zoom in on different parts of the body if it helps...

John Pinto says: "Must be E. immaculata. Pretty far east tho.
"Is plant Asclepias? Milkweed is a known host of immaculata."

Moved from Epicauta.
