    When I zoomed in, I noticed the yellowish on its forehead. That detail, plus the lack of thick hind femurs makes me wonder if the ID is correct. Did you compare to Cryptocephalus ocellatus? Posted 3 years ago

      Wow, that is extremely observant. I had absolutely missed the yellow part. I do remember at one point considering why it's a flea beetle without the thick hind legs but still failed to make the connection. Thanks so much! Posted 3 years ago
