A small ladybird kind of beetle. Found normally on parthenium plants. This beetle is used in controlling the spread of parthenium weed.
Normally found on Parthenium plant.
I found a research paper "How widespread is Parthenium hysterophorus and its biological control agent Zygogramma bicolorata in South Asia?"
