True Bugs

Here’s my beetle!
Like others I have been searching to figure out what kind of beetles have been living in my garden all summer. They stay on one particular plant and have been there since July. I’m in SoCal if that helps.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi Richard,
The flaw in your searching is that the Harlequin Bug, Murgantia histrionica, is not a beetle but a true bug. It can be found on cabbage, sweet alyssum and wild mustard among other plants.
