Who knows what kind of insect this is?

Tortoise beetle is a common insect, which can be seen everywhere in the morning morning morning morning morning morning petunia garden. Morning glory is their favorite food. They can change the color of their bodies and look like miniature jewels or golden ladybugs. By changing the reflective layer of their bodies, their outer wings become transparent. This miniature beetle is quite similar to the golden probe in the Quidditch competition in Harry Potter.

Scarab (scientific name: Charidotella sexpunctata) is one of the smallest and most fascinating transparent creatures in the world. It is only 5 to 8 mm long and is similar in shape to a ladybug. Interestingly, this lovely insect, which feeds on leaves, can show golden luster and turn its color into copper all year round. This color-changing ability comes from the water droplets stored under their outer cuticle, and the light passing through the water droplets refracts and changes color.

According to the British Daily Mail, at first glance, it looks like the golden probe used in Quidditch in the sci-fi movie Harry Potter, but in fact it is just a strange color-changing beetle.

This is a rare beetle photographed by photographer Chimei Tesetan-scarab beetle, which can change the body color and even the reflectivity of the body surface. He found this beetle in irrigation canals in different parts of India. He said, "When I was a child, we used to call it Selbu, which means golden beetle. We will catch them and put them in a geometric box. "

It can often be seen in the south of China, for example, in Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, during the mature season of rice. Almost like a ladybug, it can fly. At first glance, it looks like a little turtle. It is called "Scarab" in the local area. It secretes a light yellow liquid with a slight acidic smell and is nontoxic, because it is very beautiful in appearance and golden and transparent, and is liked by many children. [ 1]

Tesetan said: "They just want to find a high point to fly. Sometimes they will perch on their fingertips, but they will excrete feces on their fingers before flying. Now the number of this insect has been greatly reduced and can't be seen everywhere. " [2]
