On a beautiful and peaceful morning, I returned to exploring the wilderness. I didn't venture far into the wilderness, just exploring a small patch of bushes not far from a residential area. There, I found a darth maul bug sitting sweetly on a cluster of green spheres that looked like small fruits. The insect was very small, but its beauty was captivating.
Its slender body and captivating costume color. Red and black blended beautifully in one frame. The small, fresh green fruits provided a beautiful stage for the insect, creating a harmonious and captivating scene. Especially when the sun shone on the leaves, the small fruits made everything sparkle, creating a calming atmosphere. The cool green and the alluring red and black.
Despite its alluring charm, this insect is often overlooked. Perhaps this is because it lives in a small corner of the wilderness rarely visited by humans. As far as I've observed, I've never encountered this insect in a flower garden or in a place with many people.
