A large red-colored tortoise beetle that mimics a ladybug. About 12mm in length. This species is photographed by many other people too from Kuching, Sarawak. So this could be an endemic species found only in that district.
Found it alone on the leaves of some bushes outside my grandfather's house in Kenyalang park, Kuching city, Sarawak, Malaysia.
