If there aren't hoards of them can you pick them up and squish them or drop them into soapy water?

Edit: Forgot to say welcome to NGA!

Plants came from Michigan .. first time I ever seen here in jersey.. Thank you.. was looking on line for over an hour to find out what this was ..to get a reply back so quick is amazing

I recognized the shape - we have a problem with golden tortoise beetles here on sweet potato and morning glories so I figured it must be a relative and checked for other species, found that one on Bugguide. The golden one is actually very pretty even if it does pepper the leaves with holes! It probably doesn't have much impact on the plant, just makes them look less esthetic.
