Milkweed Leaf Beetle (Platycorynus dejeani) Chrysomelidae

I unfortunately only got one shot of this metallic beetle before he took off and it is not a very good one, sorry. However it does show his bright metallic colours which attracted my attention to him. Luckily a few month later I was able to find a mating pair and get more pictures.
