Have a look here (the bottom right picture) but it seems to be a little mess!

Essostrutha laeta is an extremely variable species, and extremely common throughout much of Mexico, excluding the mountainous areas. It is found on plants that thrive in disturbed areas, such as along roads and areas which have been deforested.

Essostrutha laeta (Newman, 1840) for the full name.

Yes, the pronotum is exactly the same on all of the specimens. Thanks, a striking variation then.
