martinl , thanks for the info, i thought this beetle is same as ladybird/ladybug before.. nice 2 know you. . (;
A tortoise beetle is a leaf (eating) beetle and a ladybird beetle eats small insects such as aphids. They both have a similar hemispherical shape and are easily mistaken.
thanks alex for that reference..
and thanks too longmustache, for ID this spotting..
