My contribution to the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

There are various types of insects that live in the plant environment, if we pay closer attention, they have close similarities between one and several other species maybe the striking difference that I often encounter and I notice starting from the color, size and some other growing and the close-up photo shoot made me a little more acquainted with the diversity of herbivorous insects in the around environment.

When the rainy season arrives or after the rain stops, of course the insects take shelter under the leaves where they live and when it doesn't rain they work around the surface of the plant leaves and maybe in the environment of cultivated plants insects are better known as agricultural pests.

And this afternoon when I was clearing the light grass in the yard around the farm fence, I met an insect Elasmostethus interstinctus is one type of insect that is rich in its species in slightly different size and texture characteristics.

What makes the insect look a little different from other insects in its species,the insect has 3 distinctive color textures that look so elegant, namely, grass green, reddish brown and slightly black striped and the two short antennae on the head that make the insect look so unique.

These insects have a head that looks smaller than their body and three pairs of long legs which makes them a little more active to move and I feel lucky enough to meet them at the right time and close-up shooting made me more familiar with the characteristic textures of these insects.
