| I have found an orange beetle with huge black dots on it, similar to lady bugs but about 1/2" around. I can't find anything about it on the web. The only plants it eats are my Joe Pye Weeds. |

| Looks kinda like the swamp milkweed leaf beetle, but am not sure that they would be found on Joy Pye weed. Take a look at the attached image and you be the judge. What kind of damage are you observing? |

| Eureka! You have found it! Thanks so much. Yes, it is only found on my Joe Pye Weed and it likes the buds and blooms, although I haven't found damage there. I have observed them gnawing the leaves, tho. |
