It’s Saturday night. Here are two palmetto tortoise beetles with adorable feet having sex. #insects #coleoptera #beetles #Chrysomelidae

The #antbagbeetle #Clytra laeviuscula (#Chrysomelidae, #Coleoptera) is a #phytophagous #beetle #species widespread in Europe with a #myrmicophilic relationship of the #larvae and #pupae to #antnests of the genera #Formica, #Lasius and Camponotus. The larva lives mainly from the food of the ant larvae. It is protected from ant attacks by own dropping pieces (#skatoconches). Pupation also takes place in this protected manner. #evolution #biodiversity

Wenn man einen #Schildkäfer (#Cassida) sieht, ist man neugierig wie bei einem Schotten mit Schottenrock. Man will wissen, wie es darunter aussieht :-). Hier sieht es gut aus
