There is a beetle whose larvae survive by building... a shield from their own waste. The Golden Tortoise Beetle, Charidotella sexpunctata, is known as an adult for its shimmering, metallic gold appearance. In its larval stage, it belongs to a group of tortoise beetles (Cassidinae) whose young use a faecal shield as defence. The larva gathers its own droppings and shed skin, forming a movable shield it carries over its back like an umbrella. When threatened, it can shift or swing this shield towards predators, creating both a barrier and a deterrent. It is a constant struggle to survive in a world full of threats, its defence is shaped not by learning, but hardwired by evolution, this tiny creature, leaving nothing to chance. 📹 TerraNaturalistshow more
