Clavate Tortoise Beetle (adult)

Stephane

The Clavate Tortoise Beetle, is a North American beetle belonging to the Cassidinae subfamily. Its dome-shaped body, with golden or coppery reflections, resembles a turtle shell. But the most surprising thing? Its larva makes a “fecal shield” out of its excrement, which it carries on its back to ward off predators—a unique defensive strategy in the insect kingdom.
