CASSIDA VIRIDIS. Artichoke Tortoise- 

 beetle. The common artichoke's leaves 

 suffer during the summer, sometimes, 

 though rarely, from the attacks of the 

 larva of a very curious small beetle, 

 which may be called the Artichoke Tor- 

 toise-beetle, Cassida viridis. The beetle, 

 which is found in May and June, is not 

 more than one-sixteenth of an inch long ; 

 the antennae are black; the dotted wing- 

 cases and other outer coverings green; 

 but the body beneath them black; and 

 the legs pale, with black thighs. It is 

 found upon the water-mints, as well as 

 upon thistles and artichokes. The larva 

 has a very flat body, with spines upon its 

 edges; and it has the singular habit of 



o, larva ; b, the same on a leaf, with its canopy 

 of excrement ; c, pupa ; d, the perfect insect.
