Golden tortoise beetle (Charidotella sexpunctata)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

As the name suggests, these beetles are often a beautiful shiny golden colour. When disturbed, they change colour as here. One of the many colourful beetles in the large Chrysomelidae family.

Cet insecte est étonnant avec sa carapace qui semble par endroit transparente. C'est une excellente macro.
