Phila PA Looks like Chrysochus auratus - bugguide.net/node/view/461Thanks, though I really don’t think so, unless it’s a different stage. It’s much smaller and not rainbow colored like a dogbane beetle. I’ve seen loads of dogbane beetles and have many of them in my videos. This was also not on dogbane like 90% of the dogbane beetles I’ve seen. I believe this one is dark gold/brown and black. Thanks again |

I think it may be clearer here. It’s about a quarter of the size of a dogbane beetle.

Agreed - that appears to be what it is. |

Sounds good. Thanx. And this is what it said:
St. John's wort, a native of Europe, was first introduced to North America in 1793 in Pennsylvania. ...which is where I am
