Field Notes

Description:

I found this guy holding onto a piece of gravel in a parking lot....so I took him since I didn't have a camera at that moment.
He's only about 1/2cm long at the very most. I just thought it would be a good macro experiment.....I'm still working on it.

But this one has that helmet looking headpiece....I didn't notice that on the others...or they looked a little different to me....although the rest matches fine

Thanks for the ID freelancing!....It may very well be a False Potato beetle, but I see differences between my bug and the ones on the link. Maybe someone can verify.
