My wife found this little bug in a supermarket in San Jose. It stayed right on some vegetable. She took it home and I shot these photos. I think it is a leaf bettle but don't know which kind.

Great shot...
I believe this is the only one on BugGuide so far that shows the wings. I cropped this image a little to show more detail of the wings.
