I want my first bug here to be one of my favourites, Aproida balyi, also known as a very polite lady, as seen here:
there is currently no common name for these guys, and from what I understand they are the only species of the tribe Aproidini/genus Aproida (they fall into the family Chrysomelidae, aka leaf beetles). they are only found in subtropical Eastern Australia. their carapace is the most vibrant green, with a lot of dents and texture!
to finish off, here is a slow-motion video I captured of this female taking flight!
please let me know if you like posts like this! I'm very new to bugblr, but im so excited to have a blog to share my love of entomology with the world :)

Demon Masquerade: Lord Chrysomelidae version!
This was a Cassidi birthday post, but I forgot to post it here!!! I'm a big fan of the demon masquerade transformations from Bayonetta 3, so I tried to design a version for Chrysomelidae!! Lots of Gold Tortoise Beetle imagery because 1: Demon pact, and 2: Cassidinae is a bug girl!!!!

bug of the day (march 7 2023)
The Cassidinae or tortoise beetle is apart of the Chrysomelidae family. These bugs get their nickname from their domed carapace that looks like a upper shell of a tortoise. many of these beetles have the ability to turn from shiny to matte and varying colors within seconds! this happens due to the movement of fluid within the cuticle. it is unknown wether this ability is used for mating or some sort of way to avoid predators. Another cool characteristic of tortoise beetles is a "umbrella" the the larva make from feces/frass. they can also adjust the position of their "umbrella" so that it can face a predator almost acting as a shield (hence the feces it also has a stench that keeps predators away) for more info on this amazing bug please visit the link below :D

some colour varieties of Aspidimorpha deusta, a species of tortoise beetle we found in abundance on beach-side plants.
and their weird-looking kids.
No common name, various individuals (Aspidimorpha deusta), on Beach Bean (Canavalia rosea).

A quick drawing of grandpa sage and smol witch girl having a pleasant chit chat while discussing about the best ways to kill an angel. Kaiser only fights someone with experience and wouldn't go after fledglings but he will train them if they want to. Kaiser belongs to me Cassidinae belongs to the sweet @skeletonschoolgirl
#Kaiser#Kai#Cassidinae#Cassidy#Bayonetta oc#lumen sage#umbran witch#These two will get along swimmingly#He would occasionally get her a trinket from his adventures every once in a while#And gushes about his family
