Aspidomorpha furcata
[Furcated Tortoise Beetle]
Classification: | Kingdom: Animalia | Phylum: Arthropoda | Class: Insecta | Order: Coleoptera | Family: Chrysomelidae | Genus: Aspidomorpha |
The flat and square shaped objects below should be the egg cases of the beetle. Several of them were found on the plant (Camonea pilosa) where an adult beetle was seen.
The orange object below seen in a separate occasion should be a newly emerged Aspidomorpha furcata or a pupa. It was found on the underside of the leaf of the Camonea pilosa vine. Leaves of this plant were devoured by the beetles. Two adult beetles were seen on the plant where I spotted the pupa.
