Seeing the typical beetle damage... I was going to guess Japanese beetle.... Until I saw the bug pic...

Thanks to sharon for the detailed description on catching bean beetles... When the kudzu beetles show up again, I'll try it...

I just wanted to point out that passion flower is a butterfly host plant, and they don't seem to mind a bit of nibbling...

At my house the gulf fritillary butterfly and checkered fritillary lay eggs...

Occasionally I see the zebra longwing also laying eggs... Don't see much of the Florida state butterfly...

No telling what you'll get at your house... But... Those passion flowers are well able to tolerate being eaten.
