Spiny Leaf Beetle

Dear Mohamad,
This is sure an interesting looking critter.  We haven’t the time to research it at this moment, but we want to post your photos.  We believe this might be a Leaf Beetle in the family Chrysomelidae.

Leaf Beetle, we believe

Update:  Spiny Leaf Beetle
Thanks to a comment from Trevor, we have this link to a Spiny Leaf Beetle in the genus Dicladispa.

Thanks Daniel and Trevor for the id, it sure is an interesting looking little guy especially the gold color.
