A genus of beetles, commonly called tortoise beetles, which have a flattened, rounded shell that resembles a tortoise.
Scientific Latin name, likely from the Latin cassida meaning 'helmet,' referring to the helmet-like appearance of their shells.
These beetles are shape-shifters—some species can change color from bright gold to dull red depending on their mood and light conditions, like they're blushing!
