it looks
it looks like im right from the pictures but the description contradics the picturres.

"The cottonwood leaf beetle adult is a somewhat flattened, red or red orange beetle"

to me it looks like the Willow not the cottonwood is orange or red.

 
Several
There are several related "Willow Leaf Beetles" and this is one of them. It was found on willow, I presume, or even if it wasn't, then it was probably just resting on a plant not its host.

Most years the ones around me have been bright orange; this year I found ones that were more tan. Still on willow, though.

At any rate, it is safe to move this to the Chrysomela page until we can narrow it further.
