Egypt's sacred tombs with buried treasure have nothing on this beetle I saw in my garden yesterday. I thought a gold earring had fallen on a leaf. When the earring started eating the sweet potato leaf, I guessed it was alive.
Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a lady bug size GOLD bug...not yellow, gold.
When I have time, I'll look it up.

i think it is a turtoise beetle (coptocycla aurichalcea) in additional to THE GOLD BUG being a book by Edgar Allen Poe
