Tortoise the size of a beetle sounds ridiculous. But mother nature up to its game with a golden one that can fly. Enter the golden tortoise beetle or its scientific name aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis.

The gold pattern on their backs with the transparent protective carapace makes them look like tiny tortoises.
