Helmet - for what?
I have never seen a little red bug like this. That was the reason why I took the spot with almost no time to adjust my camera, since the ‘little red friend’ was crawling away. On one hand it reminded me on a turtle, on the other on a helmet.

Lovely! The picture is very sharp and the light is excellent. This a chrysomelidae (Leaf Beetle) of a kind that is indeed called Tortoise Beetle !
Unfortunately, I cannot help further for the ID, Sao Paulo is too far away from my home base... ;°)

Parabéns, boa foto, boa macro, cores, contraste e composição. Acho, eu, que você deveria aproveitar melhor o quadro da foto e destacar o seu objetivo. Obrigada! Fiz um WS para mostrar o que vejo na sua foto.

Muito boa foto, como sempre, Margit. Gostei do workshop que a edna fez. Ficou muito legal e com mais detalhes. Mas a foto em si ajudou. Parabens.

Excelente Macro !
Tambem nunca vi bicho assim.

Nice macro. A bit burnt but it makes it look shiny. Like the pose on the leaf and contrasts.

Une insecte tortue ! Elle à vraiment une belle carapace. La netteté et la lumière sont parfaites

Félicitations.

Seems like a miniature groovie tank to me ...

Good colour, excellent detail, clarity and sharpness. Only thing that spoils it is the burned out reflections. A polariser filter might have helped control them, and would have saturated the image even more.

I find this a very interesting picture. The bug (I have never seen it in my life) looks very interesting and indeed like a helmet. I could have been some character from a Star Wars movie. :) DOF & POV are very good, as is the composition. Details are sharp and colors are good. You have some burnt spots because of overexposure, but nothing serious. I enjoyed this picture. Thank you!
