Found on my truck next to our vegetable garden.
Chrysomelidae; Galerucinae; Luperini; Aulacophora; Aulacophora lewisii Baly, 1886. There are several Chrysomelids which are very similar to this beetle, but the elytra (wing covers) on this one never quite manage to completely cover the posterior of the abdomen and that is a useful identifier.
This species is common in our garden. The most photogenic of the skippers here I think. I've spotted it before.
