Tortoise beetle

FWG

I was happy to find this small tortoise beetle (new for the FWG insect list) whose name is bigger than it is (Plagiometriona clavata). One guide I read said that some people consider the brown patch that covers most of its body, to be shaped like a teddy bear. And I guess I can sort of see that!
