Pachybrachis sp.
This little Leaf Beetle reminds me of the seeds of the Castor Bean (http://www.dalonfood.com/product/natural...). About 5 mm in length. It has an especially nice butt! (4th picture). Family Chrysomelidae.
Semi-rural residential area, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, 2,200 meters.
Thank you Boris Büche of iNaturalist for the identification. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachybrach... https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/176326-...
