Hi Hema! No I didnt observe any pupae. The tree was teeming with the leaf-eating larvae and adult beetles.

Looks like you've nailed it, EmilieChich! This is the exact beetle!
Thanks!
By the way, shouldnt the poop blanketed bugs be called pupa? One stage after larval stage and one before adult form?
