DEAD RINGER! And perfectly reasonable, since I found the "Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetle" ON the leaf of a swamp milkweed!
These milkweeds are volunteers and I know not where they came from! They showed up during my garden maintenance failure years..... I got sick and just didn't have it in me. But I would NOT have recognized these plants had they not gotten old enough to bloom. seedlings would have been pulled.
It's a gift from the universe!
Found this photo from using the link. Pattern is unmistakable!
Thank you for identifying it,
@Sooby.
