  Simply because it's #2 or because it looks like a match? I agree though, which is probably why I put it as the second option. ;P Posted 2 years ago

The Black and Red Sumac Leaf Beetle

''Cryptocephalus quadruplex'' is a species of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.

Case-bearing leaf beetles are named so because the larvae construct protective cases from their fecal matter and sometimes plant debris.
