Lovely little thing, isn't it? I've browsed the whole Beetle section, but couldn't find a match. These are the best shots I could get of it, I'm afraid. Mosquitoes were eating me up!

Moved from Calligrapha rowena.
Species ID in doubt. It should stay at genus level.

Calligrapha leaf beetle.
This is a leaf beetle in the genus Calligrapha. Species already in the guide that look similar are C. rowena and C. spiraeae.

Thanks!
I knew I missed that one. Since the gallery for C. rowena seems a bit sparse, I'll add this one.
