Today I want to share another type of tortoise beetle. But this time this has a different color and size from the previouse beetle that I share here on Hive. Both of them are so beautiful, yet they can be a problem because they feed on the leaf they are resting on. Too bad isn't it?
The beetle that is called Green Tortoise Beetle or Cassida circumdata. Cassida circumdata has small body with metallic green in color. It has compound green eyes and a pair of antennae with 11 clavate shaped. It has 3 longitudinal black band with lateral extension like shield on the wings. The middle black band on inner margin of wing shares with opposite wing.
Can you see its antennae, it very small, more like a needle.
I really love how the balck and green combination on its body, it looks so nice and also it blends so nicely with the plant it was resting on, making it harder for the predator or for us to see it.
