Good evening all #BeautyOfCreativity (BOC) friends, How are you all, hope we are all healthy and happy.
Different types of leaf beetles will nibble on different parts of different plants. The feeding behavior of some taxa can seriously affect the normal growth of plants, so it has become a common agricultural pest. Some leaf beetles can even spread plant diseases, and if not controlled, it will cause greater damage to agricultural production.

Aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis can reach a length of about 14 mm. This beetle shows a golden reflection in the discs of the elytra and prothorax, and a characteristic pattern with well developed posterolateral and humeral spots on the explanate elytral margin. It is active in the rainy season, with diapause in winter and summer. Both adults and larvae feed on Convolvulaceae, mainly on Ipomoea species. In Manipur (N.E. India), it is locally known as "Sandrembi" and "Cheishra".

Some colorful leaf beetles are actually toxic, and their beautiful appearance is warning predators: I am very dangerous, do not eat me! However, just observing with your eyes and touching the leaf beetle with your hand will not be poisoned.

This species can be found in the Southeastern Asia (China, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, North East India, Vietnam, Indonesia).

Charidotella sexpunctata, the golden tortoise beetle, is a species of beetle in the leaf beetle family, Chrysomelidae. It is native to the Americas.
