According to this website, it's main diet consists of passionflowers. They are "leaf skeletonizers," riddling a leaf with holes as they eat it. Oddly, I haven't seen many leaves with holes in them. Perhaps there are only a couple in the yard.

It likes Passionvine? Mine must be so mixed with other plants that I have not attracted it. Neat Beetle!
