Cryptocephalinae - Case-bearing Leaf Beetles - Cryptocephalus binominis
Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina, USA
June 20, 2020
Size: less than 5 mm
On boat in marina, near marshy area with cattails, cypress. Also near some Spartina marsh, Pine forest. When I made a sudden move, it feigned death, rolling onto its side.
