Anyone know who they are and how to stop them from eating my juicy new fig leaves?

I found about 8 of them on both fig trees munching away and have already made a mess.

Leaf beetle? Believe the bottom of your shoe can be a good remedy. Think eggs are normally laid in the soil.

Unsure if bare rooting is required to rid the eggs?
