This insect is called the shield beetle because its rear body resembles a shield. Its Latin name is Chrysocoris stollii. Shield beetles are characterized by the black spots on their bodies, or shields.
Shield beetles also come in other colors, such as red with black spots, and have two antennae on their heads. These beetles are often seen on leaves and are among the insects that feed on plant sap.
