@Anne Marie... Or maybe not! bayucca noted this on my spotting. It's a mimic of this beetle and looks more like yours. "Look at this almost perfect mimic: Oedionychus cruxnigra (what a name!!): http://www.flickr.com/photos/e-naturalist/10023251374/in/photostream/" bayucca

I just uploaded one very like this - then came to look at Beetles of Costa Rica and saw this - I think mine is the same? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/53576008

Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Alticini, Asphaera sp. and most probably Asphaera nobilitata. http://biodata.miza-ucv.org.ve/index.php/listas/especie/1/Asphaera/nobilitata#!prettyPhoto http://www.flickr.com/photos/62848917@N07/6642992035/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/331285855/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/45930043@N03/6425373267/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/e-naturalist/10023310876/
