Hope this is a better post, can anyone identify these beetles from Portugal please.

Afternoon Tuffs,

Ah, Portugal. I'm pretty certain these are from the Chrysomelidae family. The hind legs seem quite pronounced and the head can't be seen well from above, so they could be Flea Beetles.

You need to carefully examine most of these under the microscope for a good ID.

Take care,

Jason
