Can anyone tell me what this unknown creature is? It was just sitting on my pepper plant!
Turtlefrog alien?!
Do I see antennae coming out of it's head???
I just figured out what it is...it's actually called a Tortoise Beetle! http://www.easttennesseewildflowers.com/gallery/index.php/Beetles_Bugs/Copy_of_Tortoise_beetle1

oh, and I found info on it here as well. http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/576/#b
I have never heard of anything like that before.
Thanks guys. I ended up killing it that day. But its the first time I've ever seen one. I must have brought it home already on the a
Plant since i bought the pepper plants.
