It is probably Cassida corallina, but I never seen life specimens. Dried specimens look different: http://www.biol.uni.wroc.pl/cassidae/Eu ... allina.htm |

Yes is a shame that all Cassida looses the colours once died. I can't find absolutely none image of C. corallina alive, what made you suppose this species? (P.D. according to your link C. corallina feeds on Artemisia. This one was on Galium and I saw none species of Artemisia in all the zone. Artemisia is a member of Asteraceae family (as most of the Cassida's host plants), while Galium not). |

None of European species feed on Gallium (Rubiaceae family) thus its occurrence on this plant was accidental. |
