Cassida type tortoise leaf beetle. The lateral ridges are not typical and my ID is rather tentative
Commonly found under bark.
They may be hibernating or nocturnal. This was an iPhone photo

I saw dozens of these. They were all under tree bark and not on leaves. We were looking for lycaenid larvae. The habitat was desert.
These are beautiful beetles, it must be great to see them under sun light!
