Spotting

Habitat:

The Ecological Reserve of Charco Verde, tropical dry forest

Notes:

The Ecological Reserve of Charco Verde covers 20 hectares of tropical dry forest which is home to many animals. Within the reserve is the mystical pond of Charco Verde with its emerald green waters. The lagoon owes its peculiar color to abundant algae. In earlier times the Indians used to make sacrifices and supplications to their gods here. The reserve lies along a volcanic beach

Not really sure about the family, but it looks like being Chrysomelidae. Reminds me deep in my brain of Cassidinae, Arescini, Arescus sp., but the markings are the other way round.
