De afgelopen dagen heb ik BlueSky en andere socials nogal verwaarloosd. Hier is een excuus-roestige-distelschildpadtor (Cassida vibex) voor #ElkeDagEenInsect.

Eigenlijk had ik niet zoveel moeten inzoomen en hem niet moeten pesten, want dan zou je deze groene distelschildpadtor (Cassida rubiginosa) echt niet zien. Poten, kop en antennen waren dan onder hals- en dekschilden verstopt, waardoor er niet eens een schaduw te zien zou zijn. #ElkeDagEenInsect

Het is altijd de moeite waard distels te bekijken waar de epidermis af is geknabbeld, zoals hier. Dit schildpadtorretje (Cassida rubiginosa) doet dat. #ElkeDagEenInsect

Any guesses as to what this is? Found on the UK. Partial to thistles. Answer in ALT text box.

It was good to find the glittery Cassida hemisphaerica in Pembrokeshire this week. Such stunners!

Larven van schildpadtorretjes (Cassida) hebben een vorkvormig aanhangsel op hun achterlijf waaraan ze hun uitwerpselen en restanten van eerdere vervellingen dragen. Dat is fijne bescherming tegen predatoren en bovendien goede camouflage. #ElkeDagEenInsect

#ElkeDagEenInsect Vandaag een kever de muntschildpadtor (Cassida viridis).

A top find (not by me) on Wednesday's trip to Llanymynech Rocks was the tortoise beetle Cassida nebulosa, only the second VC40 record. Lovely thing. It appeared at the same time as the much commoner C. rubiginosa (the green one), allowing a nice side by side comparison.

Three reasons not to mow: Cassida viridis, Oedemera nobilis ♀ & Limonius poneli all on lawn today in Bengeo garden.

De Cassida vittata (waarschijnlijk het exemplaar op foto) lijkt erg op Cassida nobilis. De beesten zijn variabel met soms wat overlap tussen de soorten. Voor een betere determinatie zou je ook de onderkant moeten fotograferen. Dat heb ik hem niet gevraagd…. #elkedageeninsect

1/2 #speciesaday no. 577 is Cassida viridis. A large, green and very round tortoise beetle that feeds on Water Mint. Usually found where there are large stands of the foodplant.

First Thistle Tortoise Beetle, Cassida rubiginosa of 2025. On Common Knapweed. Always worth a closer look if you see holes in the leaves.
