Identify Eggplant bug

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I recently planted 2 "Black Beauty" Eggplant transplants into my sqft garden. 
I have seen a beetle type insect on one of the plants. I know to treat with 
diatrematous earth (DE) but want to identify the little bugger before I send 
him or her to buggy heaven.
    The beetle is about the size of a pin head and shaped like a tear drop. 
The color is shiny black and the head is on the rounded end of the tear drop 
shape, but no head is discernible. 
     Any help would be appreciated.
