Eurypepla Calochroma
''Eurypepla calochroma'', commonly known as the Geiger tortoise beetle, is a species of Cassidinae, tortoise beetle. It is found in Florida, Central Central America, America and the Caribbean. This specific beetle only feeds on the Geiger tree (Cordia sebestena, ''Cordia sebastena'') throughout all of its life stages. Description The Geiger tortoise beetle is a small (about one centimeter) long beetle. The biology has been describedChaboo, C.S. 2004. Natural history observations in Eurypepla calochroma Blake (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Physonotini). The Coleopterists Bulletin 58(1):142–143. Larva, Larvae are small, brown, slimy, and worm like and have an accumulation of feces on the abdomen. Pupa, Pupae are shell-like, and when the adult emerges from the pupal stage they come out as a round-shaped beetle that is overall yellowish. But, as adults mature, they become a bright iridescent green color. Mature adults can change color from their normal green color to blues, purple ...

Carl Henrik Boheman
Carl Henrik Boheman (10 July 1796 – 2 November 1868) was a Sweden, Swedish entomologist. He collected specimens in Norway and became a curator of the Swedish museum of natural history and described numerous beetle species. Life and work Boheman was born in Jönköping, the son of mystic Carl Adolf Andersson Boheman who was involved in Freemasonry and made money in England and Copenhagen. Boheman was to become a merchant and apprenticed to Nils Westrin, a student of Linnaeus and Thunberg who collected insects. This made him interested in insects at an early age and he studied Latin. He studied law at Lund University but quit in 1813 and joined the Jönköping Regiment and trained as an officer, participating in the invasion of Norway in 1814. He collected insect specimens through his travels. He was called by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1841 to the position of professor and keeper of the Department of Entomology of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. ...

Chrysomelidae
The beetle family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as leaf beetles, includes over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making it one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Members of former chrysomelid subfamilies ( Orsodacnidae and Megalopodidae) are also difficult to differentiate from true chrysomelids. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed o ...
