It is a Tortoise beetle larva.

Possibly Chelymorpha cassidea or a very close cousin.

I tried searching locale: Indonesia, but the English resources were few!

Very neat find!! Search Tortoise Beetle (there are many!!) and keep your eyes out for him in adult form in the next couple weeks!!

Peace!!

Hi @em3 AWESOME! I am so happy to see someone was curious enough to check it out haha, I was struggling not doing it myself. I googled the name you sent, and I see a whole bunch of different images so I am going to research it more this weekend. I see one photo that does look like this guy then a whole bunch of others that don't. I just got back from some quick travel so I'll have to put some more time into it! <3

Yeah, there are many, many tortoise beetles. Maybe in a few weeks when you see the adult you can get a photo and we can find exactly which one!
Goodluck!!

Thank you so much, I just went through and sprinkled my love all over your blog! Thank you for playing along on my bug identification game =D

You are very welcome and thank you! I appreciate the sprinkles very much!!

Peace!
