Hello amazing nature lovers wherever you are, I hope all of us are always in good health and all affairs are carried out without any obstacles. Yesterday when I was in the forest I again managed to capture some interesting macro photo objects. And it consists of some cool insect species as well as pretty wildflowers.
As we all know, there are insect species that prey on other insects. And he is a robber fly or an insect that comes from the Asilidae family. Robber flies are a very aggressive family of flies, their agility can sometimes fool the human eye. This fly maneuvers very quickly in the air, so it's no wonder he can conquer other insects.
Then there is a species of bush cricket that usually inhabits grass along with other insects such as grasshoppers. This cricket has the Latin name Phaneroptera falcata or also known as "sickle-bearing bush cricket". Its characteristics are almost like grasshoppers, besides eating grass it also has a body structure that is almost the same as grasshoppers. It's just that crickets usually have longer antennae than grasshoppers.
Besides crickets, I also found a skipper butterfly that was sunbathing, she gracefully stood on a leaf. This skipper butterfly has the binomial name Borbo cinnara from the Hesperiidae family. The skipper butterfly species actually has several color variants, and generally the ones that are easy to find are the yellow and brown ones like the skipper butterfly that I share.
After the skipper butterfly, my also has "Bapak Pucung", that is a popular name in Indonesia for this insect whose scientific name is Dysdercus cingulatus. This insect often inhabits wild plants Pulutan, in fact it is also known as a pest for these plants.
And lastly, as usual, I would look for beautiful wild flowers while in the forest, this time I found "Urang-aring" flowers or flowers from a wild plant called the Eclipta alba.
