Dogbane Leaf Beetle

Dogbane Leaf Beetle

The setting is the Common Milkweed.  My first thought was Japanese Beetle.  Closer inspection yielded another name, Dogbane Leaf Beetle.  The Dogbane, aka Indian Hemp, is related to the Common Milkweed.  In the early spring, I can barely tell them apart in their early stages.  Long story short, this pair of beetles should feel right at home on the milkweed and it appears that they do.
