Asphaera nobilitata
Flea beetle (leaf beetle, Chrysomelidae family).
Overgrown urban area.
Yes, I see - mine (and Pamsai's) has a white "T", where your "swiss flag" has a complete cross. Thanks bayucca. I have another, similar one - I'm going to find the photo and upload that one too...
This is my Swiss Flag Beetle! Look at the different "white cross", the rest is almost identical. And what a name! Oedionychus cruxnigra:

Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Alticini, Asphaera sp. and most probably Asphaera nobilitata.
