Tortoise Beetle

Chelymorpha cribraria

Habitat:

fields, parks, gardens, shrubs

Notes:

I always like seeing these guys. Here in South FL, I've only come across the red and black color form (like this one). Looking forward to spotting the red/golden form one day. See here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/182588
