Golden Tortoise Beetle, Kepik Emas, Bolokotono (Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis), in Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia

Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis This is  Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis , commonly known as Golden Tortoise Beetle.  It's similar in Bahasa, mostly Indonesia people called it as Kepik emas or Kumbang Kura-kura Emas (kepik/kumbang=beetle; Kura-kura; tortoise; emas=golden). Maybe because of they're golden and shine colour, just like a golden and also the dorsal (upper side) form looks like tortoise shell (carapace). But, the local name (Sumedang; Sundanese) is totally different, that is Bolokotono. Even me as Sundanese, I don't know, why it's called Bolokotono? If you search Bolokoto in your search engine, it refers to a song, the title is Bolokotono, but the song isn't about the beetle, it is about someone.  Ini adalah  Aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis , secara umum dikenal sebagai Golden Tortoise Bettle.

This is Attacus atlas, the Atlas Moth is one of the biggest insects on the planet with a wingspan stretching up to 27 cm across (Pavid, 2016).
