Subfamily Cassidinae, Tribe Omocerini, probably Canistra sp.
This tortoise beetle larva is the last instar before the definitive mold. Its stance resembles very much a Ankylosaurus, as can be seen in photo #4. To add to the likeness, this larva shake its tail (photo #5) vigorously every time the camera came too close to it.
