Golden tortoise beetle (Charidotella sexpunctata)

These little beetles fascinate me, with their shiny golden colour. The hint of red you can see is evidence of their ability to change colour when alarmed, from golden to red!

these Golden beetles are amazing and beautiful especially when the outer shell appears to be trnasparent
