Meet When It Rains

Hello hiver friends, especially the world's insect lovers, again I present an insect post, this time Insects of the aphid type.

Starting from my trip some time ago I passed in a rice field area, which at that time was drizzling rain, looking for shelter is my alternative.

When I took shelter accidentally my eyes fell on a grass right in front of the hut where I took shelter, there were insects of the type of aphids or in scientific termsLeptoglossus phyllopus.

Aphids include and are classified as plant pest insects, eating leaves and pumpkin fruit, and some young plants.

Lives in tropical climates, and has many species that are scattered almost throughout the Asian continent.

I tried to take some pictures, it looks like an adult aphid.

Next I took a photo with the help of my macro lens, this time the juvenile aphids.

I have taken several pictures of aphids in various poses.

Next I get a collection of aphid child colonies that are sheltering behind the leaves, they are very numerous.

They have exotic shapes and colors, look how they come together, I didn't expect that there would be so many.

My curiosity is getting higher, I'm back to taking pictures.

As soon as the colony broke, I accidentally bumped into the grass, making the grass sway and they panicked and then ran away.

In the other corner some aphids were gathering and eating the pumpkin plants, they didn't notice my presence.

Look how they come together like they are working together.

Not long after the rain had stopped, I resumed my journey.

That's my brief encounter with aphids, and I thank all hiver friends who have been willing to stop by and read my blog.
