Diabrotica trifurcata
Seen under a night light at Rancho Naturalista Primary pre-montane Caribbean slope rainforest at 2970ft (900m)
well ID'd bayucca. Sorry I am out of Costa Rica now and won't be able to spot and add any more to your mission! Next time!
This one is actually Diabrotica trifurcata, I got the confirmation of Alexander.
I just created a mission for Diabrotica sp. of Costa Rica and Panama. Unfortunately we cannot include the ones from Mexico as well (out of range). I have created this mission for documentation and ID purposes with the knowledge that we only will have very few examples included. But it is an interesting and beautiful little jewel and maybe, we can help to solve all the ID mysteries...
Please, include all of your Diabrotica in my mission and invite also others to join, but only from this species and within the range! Thanks a lot!

Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Lupini, Diabroticina, Diabrotica sp. and looks like being Diabrotica trifurcata. Tricky genus! So I suggest to add Diabtrotica cf. trifurcata as ID and I will try to get a feedback from the real experts in Diabrotica, an extremely complex and variable genus.
