Labidomera clivicollis
Both larvae and adults feed exclusively on Asclepias, Cynanchum, Sarcostemma - Milkweed family Asclepiadaceae. There are four species of Labidomera, but only L. clivicollis occurs north of Mexico. The other species occur in Mexico and Central America. (information from http://www.texasento.net/Labidomera.htm)
