Tortoise Beetle Larva
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
May 7, 2008
Size: ~0.5 cm
An entomologist identified this as a tortoise beetle larva. He thinks that, based on the type of plant it was on, it's probably an eggplant tortoise beetle larva. I couldn't find any photos here to confirm, so I'm just trying to confirm the ID. Thanks in advance.
