can someone help identify this bug
i am in Durban South Africa
found this bug approx 5mm long
This is a leaf beetle (family Chrysomelidae); it bears some resemblance to species in the genus Monolepta - see http://www.ispotnature.org/node/644196 for an example.
thanks for giving us a nice clear close up for this tiny insect!
