larvae of the Brazilian tortoise beetle(Acromis sparsa) arrange themselves into a symmetrical ring. At the ends of their bodies are anal hooks on which they wave their feces, repelling incautious predators with a mouthful. The mother guards the offspring from the time they are eggs (above) and shepherds the hatchlings to food sources, taking care to round up stragglers. Via FB
