spiny brown pod bug | Genus Gralliclava

Hello everyone, good afternoon wherever you are, how are you this afternoon? Hope you are fine wherever you are.

So, on this occasion I want to show some shots of a spiny brown pod bug and this insect comes from the Genus Gralliclava. I found this insect on a green leaf. He was standing gracefully on the leaf. I approached it very carefully, so as not to cause anything that could make the insect move away. As I approached him, I didn't forget to immediately turn on my flagship cell phone camera.

The insect is very beautiful in brown and white. The head to the shoulders are white decorated with brown character spots. The body part is brown, if you look closely it looks like someone wearing a suit. The belly is brown. The left and right sides of his body have white colored patterns.

Apart from that, there are sharp horns on both shoulders, it seems that the horns function to protect themselves from enemy attacks. The two antennas are no less interesting, they continue to move non-stop like a drummer hitting a drum. It doesn't stop there, the thighs of his hind legs are no less interesting, his thighs look very strong, like someone who works hard at the gym.

Meeting this insect was truly an extraordinary discovery, he was very beautiful. This is the first time I have encountered this insect. Now let's look together at some beautiful shots of insects that I have prepared below👇
