Aulakophora foveicollis
Adult beetles feed extensively on the leaves, flowers and fruits.They bore into roots, stem and also fruits which lie on ground.
Found this one on the Night flowering jasmine(Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) shrub in my yard.
Thank you very much, stho002, for helping find the ID!
Think it is a Red pumpkin beetle or cucumber beetle- PN spottings http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/784... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114...
