Golden Tortoise Beetle

Aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis

Description:

This year again, I had the privilege of spotting this shiny beautiful beetle in the fields of Mundgod, Karnataka, India.

Habitat:

Grass Fields

Notes:

It is so conspicuous among the grasses, that i wonder if it does have any potential predator ? Maybe its poisonous.
