Hello Hivers

Some time ago I told you a little about this type of bug that I will share, but this is the first time I managed to approach him and get some shots, previously he was very difficult to approach and always moved agilely, like a ninja, here are some pictures I managed to get it

The color and shape of this bug is very unique, there are several differences between the body shape of this type and other bugs, one of which is the long antenna on its head, which other types of bugs don't have, and the back also looks a bit like a robot.

He also has a sharp sword in his mouth, this is in accordance with his title as a bug assassin, he is a cold-blooded killer, in an instant his prey will die when he is cut by him.

A black ant walked in front of him, and I saw this incident directly, suddenly the ant was in his mouth and became dinner, what a poor ant, but that is the law that exists in nature, who is strong is who is powerful

The fine hairs on its body also look attractive, the color is very bright and even more beautiful when exposed to afternoon sunlight, and in my opinion, the afternoon is the best time to look for insects, many types of insects sunbathe or look for food in the afternoon, although relying solely on my phone camera, I was satisfied with what I found

Those are some of the best pictures I have, I hope you like them and see you again next time

Note; all pictures were taken with a smartphone camera and edited with lightrhoom + picsart
