Nathaniel's Nature Journal: Here's a weird thing. This is the larva of a thistle tortoise beetle (Cassida rubiginosa). That junk on its back is its frass, aka poop. That's right, these fellows literally carry their shit on their backs. Dang tortoise beetles, that's pretty Effed-up. #beetles #larva #frass #coleoptera #insect #nature #green
