Tiny chrysomelid - Margaridisa
St. Louis City County, Missouri, USA

This is a very tiny beetle and I wish the quality was better. Could it be Brachypnoea maybe or something closely related? The puncturing doesn't look quite right (see linked picture). Thanks for any leads.

Chris, this is a very tentative placement
hope you see more and replace this with more conclusive pics

Moved from Beetles.

If I do see more
I will collect them to hopefully get better pictures. As a kind of update, I do know the plant I saw them on is one of the "weedy" Acalypha species. Don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks for taking a look. I honestly didn't expect much given the quality of the pictures.

your last pics [the pinned weevil] are very good
if you produce comparable photos of this one, we'll get you a solid ID in no time
