Milkweed Tortoise Beetle? -
Charidotella succinea
Ruidoso, Lincoln County, New Mexico, USA
September 23, 2010
Size: 4-5mm
I have been wanting to find a Tortoise Beetle for over a year. From what I have seen in my field guide I think this is a Milkweed Tortoise Beetle. Thanks so much for your help!

Hmm...
I don't think it's a Milkweed (or Argus) Tortoise Beetle. According to the
Guide
, they resemble Lady Beetles.
