Golden Tortoise Beetle

Found an interesting looking beetle in my house last night that looked like a drop of gold. When I handled it to get a better look and move it outside, it's color changed a bit to more greenish and transparent so I could see a lady bug like pattern under it's shell. I did a bit of web searching today and it turns out it was a Golden Tortoise Beetle.

The golden tortoise beetle, Charidotella sexpunctata bicolor (Fabricius), is brilliant brassy or greenish-gold in life. When disturbed, the color becomes orange with black spots.
