About Coyote Brush Leaf Beetle (Trirhabda flavolimbata)
Found in western North America associated with its host plant, Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis). Note the similarity in ecological niche and distribution of Groundselbush Beetle in the eastern U.S. In fact, I correctly guessed this species genus and role the first time I encountered it based on my experience with Groundselbush Beetle (Trirhabda bacharidis) in Maryland.
