Aspidomorpha Puncticosta
GOLDEN TORTOISE BEETLE
I was parking my car at a carpark nearby some bushes and got a glimpsed of a shiny object like gold on a leaf. So I went to investigate and saw this beautiful golden bug. Took my camera and snap some photos. Took an empty water bottle and put it inside so that I could take some photos of the under parts. The photos were take many years ago. It was lost in time and I found it again recently.

Beautiful!
The scientific name for this species is Aspidomorpha puncticosta so please can you update the information in Edit.
Where you don't know or are unsure of the scientific name, please leave that box blank as filling anything in Scientific name tricks the software into regarding the spotting as identified. Instead you should tick the "Help me ID this species" box so that the community can try to ID it for you.
