Tumbling flower beetle (Mordella)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

These minute little beetles with the very unusual shape, are common enough on summer vegetation. There are a number of species, some prettily patterned, others more plain, as here. Their common name comes from their habit of tumbling off flowers when disturbed. This one, however, just sat!
