Family Cassidinae
Cassidines are often colourful and metallic, with the ability to change the colour (and lost in specimens) which is present in the living tissue below the translucent cuticle. Although these shields are thought to provide defense, no evidence exists for such a role.
Seen at a small forest near a farm.
