Lema - maybe male - Lema trivittata - Male
Camp Creek Run, Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
July 18, 2012
Size: Maybe around 6.5 mm?
This is the smaller of the 2 beetles I found on the same leaf of Jimson weed - Datura stramonium, but not mating, so I'm only assuming that the smaller one is male. They were also with some eggs, but I didn't actually see either one lay the eggs.
