(Edited)

Today's fascinating insect post goes to random insect macro photography that I picked from my hunting series collection. I intentionally put up with the random as I think, it is good to observe different kinds of insects. All of these photos were taken in different locations and time using smartphones and external macro device.

Pic 1. A tawny coster butterfly (Acraea Terpsichore). It's fancy seeing part of its head and its mouth form a ring-like. This species is often found around the bushes, like flying here and there during the day.

Pic 2. Leafcutting Bee belongs to Megachilidae. Its name refers to its habit that uses cut leaves to construct a nest in cavities. Some of them also used as commercial pollinators (like honey bees). I found this species on the dried grass with some other bees, but my focus on this single hairy bee

Pic. 3: A very familiar insect, ladybug or ladybird beetle can be found easily in little bush, usually perches on the grass and leaves as its playground. Indeed, it has a different color from a common ladybug. It only has two-color, black and yellow. The ladybug beetle belongs to Coccinellidae a widespread family of small beetles ranging in size from 0.8 to 18 mm.

Pic.4: A tiny winged insect, its body size as big as a mosquito which can be found in the bushes. Due to it is a tiny insect, we often ignore its existence. I don't have any idea what should be really called this white tiny insect. Perhaps, it goes to the hopper.

Pic 5: Another familiar insect is the green jewel bug (Scutelleridae) is a family of true bugs also known as metallic shield bug as it has brilliant coloration. I found this bug spent much time on the leave which allowed me to freely take shots.
