Thank you!!!
And just uploaded. Also a normal colored on in the background of previous pics.
I took both pictures at the same time, just one was in a shady spot of the plant and the other higher up in the sun. I've been reading up and I wonder if they have a disease (from a soil bacteria, I think) or are just a different coloration. There were other regular colored ones on the plant as well (I have a blurry pic I haven't uploaded.
These are two different individuals. I wonder if there's a subspecies?
And I was just going to say that it's a true bug because of the x of its wings on the back. Beetles don't have crossed wings.
Sounds good! There is always one near the passionfruit vines.
