I have found these beetles in my pear trees and in my fig tree. It has an orange color around it's back.

Maybe a Clay-colored leaf beetle:

The time and place are right...

Darn, that was fast! I think that's it. They'll probably start munching on my newly planted oak trees before too long.

escambiaguy, Bug Files could use a picture of your li'l beast, if you haven't added it already:

I found more of these beetles today. They were devouring this young Persimmon tree.
