Bayucca, I have posted yet another one with similar, but different markings: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/57346021 - so you can have them all to consider when you have time :)
Could be, but these flea beetles are all tricky to ID. I didn't have the time to check all the previous ones from you and Pam.
This is very interesting. The larger one - which I assume is the female - looks like my spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/53576112. While the male looks more like the two individuals I've included in this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/56446014. It would seem that all three in my two spottings are the same species then.
