I am in luck, we are seeing some new and really cute little critters now in our garden. I found this tiny lime green bug on my aubergine or egg plant. Google tells me he is a tortoise beetle. He had eaten away most of this leaf and a couple of others.
His cool transparent outer skin is something I have never seen on another insect before. The bright lime green body with polka dots looked even more amazing. Can you see his tiny legs? I am happy to have taken this picture, it gives me a better understanding and appreciation of insects.
I wonder if he is related to the Lady bug? if he is, he will be my friend in the garden , if not he has to go. But he is the cutest thing I have seen in a while.

I thought it was a rework. I see something like this for the first time.
No Elenka , there was no editing done on this post. This is the first time I have seen such a bug as well.
This is a new critter for me. Very cool find Dawn.
I was hoping you would say you’ve seen this one. I don’t find much information online.
It really amazes me that it’s a real one because it looks like someone drawing it. The skin looks really unique and beautiful.
The bug was so tiny in the real world and the details were not so clear, But, the photo surprised me as much as anyone else. However, I love the color and the markings on the bug.
It looks beautiful in the photo but I suspect it is harmful to the garden. Great photo!
I have looked all around for this bug today but none to be seen around. I hope its eating the bugs not bugging my plants.
what a great find. I hope he doesn’t bug your garden. Or worse bug your house, and send that information to someone else.
I guess it really bugs me!
The awesome picture does look like a ladybug relative.
LOL Doc, I am bugged, by your bug comment!! Just kidding. If it is the relative of the ladybug it will useful here around my garden. This is the first time I have seen one though.
i honestly do not know! and I am sorry my comments bug you, I shall enter my pupa and learn to be less buggy as a butterfly!
What a metamorphosis that would be.. LOL don’t take me seriously. I am just clowning around, entering pupa state would mean silence, sleep and skin shedding. That would be boring 😀 Your comments don’t bug me.. sorry about that.
it is ok we were playing a word game! i figured you weren’t really annoyed. the fun new world of conversations!
Word play is fun, puns are fun. 😀
