Tortoise Beetle

Tortoise Beetle Fairy. Tortoise Beetle is my favorite kind of beetle, coz of its eye-catching transparent & patterned shell.
They are leaf beetles resembling a turtle because of the forward and sideways extensions of its body. Both adults and larvae of this beetle feed on foliage. Tropical tortoise beetles are among the most brilliantly colored of the subfamily and are used in making jewelry, wow.
