The Unknown Is Known! -- Unknown Insect, That Is: Argus Tortoise Beetle

With help from friends on the Ugly Hedgehog Photography Forum, I have learned what the ladybug-lookalike of the previous post really is.  When I mentioned Leaf Beetle, I was getting close, very warm -- I was in the right family, at least!  What it is, is an Argus Tortoise Beetle -- Chelymorpha cassidea.

    Congratulations on figuring that out. I wondered if you would be able to discover what it was.
