First, wonderful find and nice shot.
If you were wondering exactly what this is - it's a Lily Leaf Beetle (Lilioceris lilii)





Not trying to be the spelling police, but as one of my English teachers once joked to me "Your verb is so tense, it's got a cramp".
LOL!! A little poetic, but:

Pics helps the memory fetch what you catch,
but in the text description's read, it aught to be "caught".

Wow, I didn't know it was a Lily Beetle! 
And thank you for the spelling "police". My only excuse can be "English is my second language"

Thank you! 
It's a Nikon D3100. But I've used a macro filter which helps capturing "small" subjects
