User's notes
Found several sightings of this beetle and on each plant there were these 'leaf nests' of larvae. This particular plant had quite a number of 'nests'; one with a beetle sitting just above it.

The larvae are moth caterpillars; the associated adult beetles must have been coincidental, or perhaps using the 'nests' for shelter.
