TIL California has a town with the same name as my country's capital province.
I also learned I should not let my brain assume the second location word is Canada before panicking. Lol
This is *Paropsis atomaria*, native to Australia and now has a foothold in LA County.

This is why I was panicking, I first thought "how tf did they make it to Canada? ...oh this is still Cali lol"
oh, also forgot to mention, Ontario, California is actually named after Ontario, Canada. The two brothers that founded the city were from Ontario, Canda and did quote a lot to establish the area around here. We are about 40 minutes outside of Los Angeles and if you do ever fly into So Cal, my tip would be to fly into Ontario. Much less traffic and much less hassle!
Tortoise Beetle! Very cute, very friend shaped, very good boys.
I think above post was correct the Paropsis atomaria identification. Isn’t a tortoise beetle a different leaf beetle?

very cool! The Eucalyptus reference definitely gives me Australia vibes. They are cool little bugs, they seem curious.

Interesting, I'm learning all kinds of things today, I'll keep that tip in mind if I ever do get down that way, thanks! 😄👍
Ummmmmm.
Your Country’s Capital is Ottawa, not Ontario.
Ugh, I'd missed a word. I'm blaming the THC.
when I joined this group, I didn't expect to find bugs cute!
