Cassida vibex

Cassida vibex

Cassida vibex

A species of Tortoise beetles

This distinctive creature is most notable for its protective casing, which mirrors a shield; an evolutionary adaption rendered from rigid forewings that conceal delicate hindwings and a soft abdomen beneath. During its larval phase, it demonstrates a peculiar behavior by camouflaging itself with its own waste to deter predators. As an adult, its diet primarily consists of the foliage of certain flora, to which it exhibits a marked preference.

Egg The egg phase for cassida vibex begins with oviposition on host plants. The eggs are small, oblong, and develop through differentiation without noticeable growth in size. The color may change as development progresses, indicating maturation.
Larva After hatching, the larva of cassida vibex voraciously feeds on plant matter. With a soft, elongated body and distinct color patterns for camouflage, it undergoes several molts, growing significantly in size and gradually changing shape.
