hard shelled bug on pepper plants

hard shelled bug on pepper plants
Vail, Pima County, Arizona, USA
September 17, 2023
Size: 4 mm
Found on leaves of Thai chili plant and Wenk's hot chili plant. Also eats leaves of eggplants. I think this is some kind of larval form. I have seen what may be the adult version which is brown shelled, but don't have photo of it.
