This is a golden proboscis beetle, I haven't found this beetle for a long time, and this time I managed to find it on one of the wild trees. Maybe this is their mating season, because on one tree, I managed to find 8 beetles, each of which is mating. I myself really like this insect, especially in terms of its very unique shape, and the most prominent is that this insect has a proboscis in its mouth, it also has a very striking color, namely greenish yellow, but the color will fade if we hold it, this is a flying insect but they are classified as very tame so it is easy to approach and photograph it. I managed to find this beetle on the edge of the forest, at that time I and some of my friends were looking for mushrooms on the edge of the river, and this insect managed to stop me and because of its uniqueness I was interested in photographing it, by using the help of a macro lens I was able to capture its beauty perfectly.
