The goldenrod gall fly lives its entire life on goldenrod plants. This fly is small and grows to be about five millimetres long with females usually being a bit larger.Females have an âegg-laying tubeâ (ovipositor) that extends from their abdomen making them easier to identify.oldenrod gall flies do not seem to have any effects on us. They do not sting or bite and they tend to be focused only on mating and goldenrods; in fact, their activities do not even harm the goldenrod.
Entomologists suspect this feature allows them to hunker down and tuck in their body parts when under attack from a predator. The golden tortoise beetle is common in North America and can often be found in backyards on plants such as sweet potato and morning glory.But golden tortoise beetles arenât always so golden. In fact, they can change color depending on the season or even their mood using the liquid beneath their transparent shell.ortoise beetles get their funny name from the peculiar structure of their elytra â the hardened wing covers that protect the flying wings in beetles â which have a flattened ridge outlining the body and concealing the head and legs, much like a tortoise.
