The head of the beetle is not visible and is hidden by the greatly expanded pronotum, notice the scaring around the edge of the translucent rim on this beetle, life can be rough on insects, still a nice array of browns and tans and punctures ala my fathers wingtips Lighting Experiment: Agroiconota bivittata - Another tortoise beetle, this one from a glycol trap collected by Brooke Alexander and photographed by Amber Reese, in this case the trick was to increase the lighting on the lower edge, what worked was laying a portion of styrofoam cup slit lengthwise ala butternut squash which nicely reflect the bounced flash back up on to the specimen.
