Epilachna sp
small beetle
montane rainforest
Spotted in Gunung Gede national park.
Found matching images as "Epilachna admirabilis" - but this seems to be a wrong ID:

Epilachnini are a difficult group . . . and I fear we cannot even give genus level IDs from photos in future, after I have read this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2765...
Dan, we maybe have to go back to Epilachna sp. or Epilachna cf. indica:

Coccinellidae, Coccinellinae, Epilachnini, Epilachna sp. and rather Epilachna indica than Epilachna admirabilis, which would usually have much larger spots:
