Name That Bug



Hmmm......This little fella has been caught creeping around on my tomatoes.

Can't find him in 'Good Bug Bad Bug' and it is one of the strangest bugs I have ever seen. Looks like a shell with antennae.

Yuck. Looks like a clavate tortise beetle. I've never seen one of these (and hope I never do!).

Ooerr, weird one. I use this place to find the bugs we get in Cyprus as they are diff to UK.
You prob already know about it, but here is the link anyway. :)

Thanks ladies!! I searched high and low trying to find an ID on this thing yesterday including an e-mail to the whatsthatbug.com after not seeing it on their site.....maybe I just missed it. Clavate tortise beetle it is.
