I was out photographing birds and sloths when I saw this beetle. I have been unable to locate any matching photos online, so I hope you can help with this one.
Dear Stephen,
This is a Leaf Beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. We believe we have correctly identified it as Megistomela punctatissima or a closely related species thanks to this image on Flickr.
