An Elusive Encounter: My Personal Notes
I actually captured this bug yesterday, on the same day I spotted the weevil, right after my first Actifit walk. Unfortunately, it didn't stick around for long – it flew away quite quickly after I got these shots, so I couldn't get a proper look or try to identify it further.
It's not a very common sight in my immediate area, but I know these types of bugs can be found in other places around, like in Kula Nla and a few other spots. It's always a reminder of how diverse the insect world is, even within a small geographical range!
I hope you enjoyed this quick peek at another fascinating insect from my daily observations!
