Calligrapha-like Beetle - Leptinotarsa collinsi
San Pedro River Valley, SE of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA
August 11, 2011
Size: approx 7 mm
I would guess this is possibly a Zygogramma tortuosa, although it does not match other photos on BG exactly; on a Jumping Cholla Cactus, Sonoran desert with Saguaros, Palo verdes and Jumping Chollas, Elev 2800 feet
