While I was cleaning the ornamental plants in front of my house, I suddenly managed to discover a pair of leaf beetles resting on the leaves. These beetles are extremely small in size and even look like a pair of flies when seen from a distance. What makes them interesting is their very unique coloration. There is an orange or brownish color on their heads and abdomens, while their wings are somewhat dark or brownish in color. Most likely, these beetles have hard wing covers.

These insects may be very useful and beneficial to predators in nature, but they are considered serious pests by farmers because they can feed on various types of plants and leaves. Therefore, their presence should not be overlooked.

At that time, I photographed this leaf beetle with the help of a macro lens, but the results I got were not very satisfying because I did not have enough light.
Alright everyone, now I am going to share some pictures of this leaf beetle here.
