Spotted Tortoise Beetle

Conchyloctenia tripuncticollis

Description:

This is the first tortoise beetle I found in Swaziland. It was easy to see as it was shining like gold in the late afternoon sun.

A very nice beetle Pam
Was it really the Sun or your well trained eyes?
Not one that i've seen recently
It is certainly subfamily: Cassidinae
