This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes

To take part in today's #monomad contest, I'd like to show you some Macro Photo of an Animal. The animals that I will share in this post are animals that belong to the class of insects. The insect that I will share on this occasion is called Squash bug, this is the name I found on a Google Lens search, and when I tried to find out more about the insect I shared on wikipedia, there I found another name for this insect, her name is "Anasa Tristis", and here I will also quote some explanations on wikipedia that explain this insect, there it is written that;

_{"Anasa tristis is a species of bug in the family Coreidae. It is a major pest of squash and pumpkins, found throughout North America, and is a vector of the cucurbit yellow vine disease bacterium. . . . . ."} _{Read more on Wikipedia}

From what I have read on wikipedia that these insects are pests for pumpkin trees (but now I do not consider them a serious pest), and it is true that I found these insects on pumpkin trees, as well as the very pungent smell emitted by them. this insect, it will emit an odor when it is disturbed and I feel it when it is right above my finger, and the dirt it emits is very stinging in my nose.

The photo I share was taken a few days ago when my friends and I were looking for some macro objects in the forest not far from where I live, namely in Lhokseumawe Aceh - Indonesia, and we usually look for macro objects in the afternoon, which is two hours before the sky black and dark to welcome the night. Okay friends, below are some photos of the insect called "Squash Bug" or also known as "Anasa Tristis" which I will share for today's monomad challenge, and all the photos I share here were taken using a smartphone camera and macro lens help, I hope you like it ;

Okay buddy, that's all I can share on this occasion, sorry if there are some words that are difficult to understand because here I am still using the help of google translator to translate my writing into English, don't forget to smile every day, see you in my post next, Greetings of peace ;)
