Leaf beetle, Trirhabda -
Xanthogaleruca luteola
Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado, USA
February 24, 2009
Size: 4 mm
Found in my kitchen sink on 24 Feb 2009. Not more than 4mm in length.
Looks a little like a reticulated beetle in the guide.

I would think something like...
Water-lily Beetle (
Galerucella nymphaeae
)
But please wait for an expert to comment :)

That certainly looks close. But I am a long way from any water lillies, in Colorado in February.

There is a very similar one on Brittle Bush
That we get a lot in AZ (bush and beetle both) I think it's a Trirhabda, maybe sp. schwarzii See here

Sorry...
I used the wrong thumbnail...
Try something like
Trirhabda bacharidis
. Like Margarethe, I would bet
Trirhabda
at least. It seems that most images in this genus don't get identified to species.
