E' grande circa 3-4 mm e ha una sorta di capsula trasparente di protezione, è un insetto forse non adulto ... veramente curioso

Very fine shot. Did you discover what animal it is?

Thanks Nico.
I searched the Internet and found nothing. Under the transparent capsule you see in my opinion a beetle. I also have other photos, but no macro because I did not have the right lens (these are digital enlargements...). When an ant was spinning around him and he also touched this insect he lowered himself and the capsule protected it completely. I've never seen something like this before. I also asked one of my fellow office graduate in agriculture but he could not tell me what it is

Dear Leonardo,

We consulted Mateusz Sowinski (https://swiatmakrodotcom.wordpress.com/najnowsze-artykuly/page/10/) who is in my opinion an expert in field. He says this may be some of Cassida sp., Chrysomelidae. I looked at aramel.free.fr/INSECTES11-34.shtml and in fact this seems either the insect or a very very similar one.

Un abrazo,
nico

Wow, that's good! You directed me on links where I saw really unusual insects, among which I would say that there is also mine, which seems to me more like Cassida margaritacea ou subreticulata. Thank you very much.
