I called this beetle a leaf hopper, because that's what it was doing, but identifying beetles is a job for experts. It might be Calloodes Grayanus.


I make no claim to be an entomologist (at least I know what that is!) but after hours of research the nearest I can find is this is a Calloodes Grayanus.
