Golden Tortoise Beetle - Charidotella sexpunctata - Charidotella sexpunctata

Golden Tortoise Beetle - Charidotella sexpunctata - Charidotella sexpunctata
Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA
September 6, 2014
Size: 3/8 inch
Here it is hunkered down under it's clear shell and pressed up against the leaf for protection. You won't find any of these shiny gold guys pinned to a board in a collection - they loose their gold color when they die.
