A scavernger and a mantis

in CCH2 years ago

It is so nice that it is already Sunday again, since it means that this is the last day the owner will stay in the villa, before they fly back home. I also would like to apologize for my lack of engagement this week since I was a little bit busy.

This Sunday post will be my contribution to #sublimesunday initiated by @c0ff33a, #beautifulsunday initiated by @ace108, and my #sundayrandom where I share my random macro shots

This Sunday I only have two species for you to enjoy, one is a scarab beetle, and the other one is a mantis.

The beetle is Hybosorus orientalis, is a species of scavenger scarab beetle found in Nepal, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sumatra, and Java and Bali since I found it here : ). It is a cute beetle, but if you know what it feeds on, I guess you would not want to touch it. The adult feeds on an early stage of carrion, which is something that I would never think this little cutie would do. But nature is amazing, right?

unfortunately, I only got two photos of this beetle, since it run away pretty fast right after I started taking photos of it.

next is this paying mantis of Amantis reticulata, a species of praying mantis that can be found in South East Asia. I really like the color and the pattern of this praying mantis. so beautiful. A beautiful insect for this beautiful Sunday. : )

I kind of expected to the the mantis in green but this one has color I'm don't usually see.

Nice shots! I guess it was a shy beetle... Most mantis' here are green, interesting to see one that color. Very cool! How have you been?
