COLEOPTERA Beetles
8-1/2 x 10-1/2 Inches 272 Pages, 500 Illustrations Age Range: 7-10 $24.99 $14.99
FAMILY CHRYSOMELIDAE Tortoise beetles look like they have an upsidedown bowl over their backs, legs, and head. The bowl is actually their front wings and part of their thorax. It protects them so that predators, like ants, can’t grab hold of them. The golden tortoise beetle is named for its golden, jewel-like appearance on morning glory leaves, their preferred food. However, the bug isn’t always golden. It can change its colors. The color change depends on the amount of fluids between layers inside their wings. The fluid is controlled by microscopic valves. This color change once fooled scientists into believing that they were observing different species of beetles, not one. They even gave the beetle different names.
OTHER COMMON NAME Sweet potato leaf beetle
The larvae of the golden tortoise beetle have an effective way of defending themselves. They have a long, forklike extension at the end of their abdomen that holds large gobs of feces. When they hold this extension (called a fecal parasol) over their bodies, predators ignore them.
FOOD Adult and Larva: morning glories
SCIENTIFIC NAME Charidotella sexpunctata / Family: Chrysomelidae
SIZE 0.20–0.28 inch (5–7 mm) long
HABITAT Found on morning glories
WINGS Yes (their forewings are hardened wing covers and their hind wings are for flying)
RANGE North America

1,000 kinds so far, there are probably
thousands more dinosaur species yet unknown. Here are some of the most recent exciting discoveries. AUSTRORAPTOR awst-ro-RAP-tor MEANING “Southern thief” SIZE 16 feet (5 meters) long, Big PERIOD 70 million years ago, Late Cretaceous WHERE FOUND Argentina FOSSILS Partial skeleton with fragmentary skull GROUP Dromaeosaurid AUSTRORAPTOR IS THE largest of the dromaeosaurid dinosaurs from South America. Unlike other raptors around the world, its teeth were coneshaped and its arms were short.

RAPTORREX rap-TOR-ex MEANING “Robber king” SIZE 10 feet (3 meters) long, Big PERIOD 125 million years ago, Early Cretaceous WHERE FOUND China FOSSILS One individual GROUP Tyrannosaurid A RAPTOR-SIZED early ancestor of Tyrannosaurus rex.
DISCOVERING DINOSAURS BARROSASAURUS BARR-o-sa-SORE-us MEANING Lizard from Barrosa Hill SIZE 95 feet (30 meters) long, Gigantic PERIOD 80 million years ago, Late Cretaceous WHERE FOUND Argentina FOSSILS Three incomplete vertebrae GROUP Sauropod DISCOVERED TEN YEARS AGO but only lately named, Barrosasaurus was one of the largest of all plant-eating dinosaurs.
HESPERONYCHUS HESS-per-oh-NY-cuss MEANING “West claw” SIZE under 3 feet (1 meter) long, Small PERIOD 75 million years ago, Late Cretaceous WHERE FOUND Canada (Alberta) FOSSILS Partial skeleton GROUP Dromaeosaurid THIS TINY DINOSAUR is the smallest meat eater known from North America. DIAMANTINASAURUS dye-ah-man-tin-ah-SAWR-us MEANING Diamantina River lizard SIZE 50 feet (15 meters) long, Giant PERIOD 100 million years ago, Early Cretaceous WHERE FOUND Australia FOSSILS Front and hind legs, hips, and some ribs GROUP Sauropod THIS HEAVY-BUILT GIANT plant eater is the largest dinosaur ever found in Australia.
FRUITADENS froo-TA-dens MEANING “Fruita tooth” SIZE 26 to 30 inches (65 to 75 cm) long, Small PERIOD 150 million years ago, Late Jurassic WHERE FOUND U.S. (Colorado) FOSSILS Partial skulls and skeletons GROUP Pre-iguanodontian THE SMALLEST known bird-hipped dinosaur. Discovered 30 years ago, Fruitadens was only recently found to be a new kind of dinosaur.
WHAT COLORS WERE DINOSAURS?
Fossils generally give no information about the outer appearance of animals. So until very recently, scientists had no idea what color dinosaurs might have been. But a fossil of Anchiornis (p. 216), a newly discovered chicken-sized meat
eater from China, contained a surprise. Anchiornis’s fossils were very well preserved, so its feathers survived. They showed black and white wings and a reddish head. Many feathers were studied to reveal the animal’s color pattern. The picture to the left shows what this meat eater might have looked like.
