Found these 2 bugs enjoying my milkweed together. Any idea what they are?

They are Milkweed Leaf Beetles - Labidomera clivicollis. They completely stripped some of my Purple and Swamp Milkweed plants in a couple of days last year. Saw my first one yesterday. Search and destroy or they will destroy your plants very quickly!
