This is most likely a Pupa or Tortoise Beetle.
They are known to use their excrement to 'decorate' themselves and have interesting appendages and protrusions.

    Hi Albert, while browsing through larva images on JD I noticed this one (nice!). By general appearance (going by what I know of our own Tortoise Beetles) I'm pretty sure this should be a pupa, not a larva. Just thought I'd leave that as a note ... ;o) Cheers, Arp
    P.S. Will try to upload some European larvae and pupae at some point for comparison, but not until later this summer.     Posted 6 years ago
