Insects Of The World - INSECT CONTEST - May 2021 - #04 - CLOSED

[hive-129253]

Hello Nature Lovers !

I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Insects Of The World Contest ^^ To participate in the Insects Of The World Contest just write up a post about an interesting insect of your choice, characterize it and explain to us why you believe that your chosen species is especially important or interesting. You find more details in the rules below ^^

The INSECTS OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY is there FOR ALL POSTS ABOUT THE WORLD OF THE INSECTS AROUND YOU. We would highly appreciate it if you share your great content there with us! .. The contest is located there as an integrated part and special community feature ^^ The community also features a weekly Curation Report (@lourdeshd6, @nicanor-mosquera) !

Contest Rules :

• POST your entry INTO the INSECTS OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY and MENTION that your post is an ENTRY. It is appreciated if leave a link to the contest too, so that interested readers may find it directly.

• Add the SCIENTIFIC NAME of the species IN THE TITLE

• All pictures have to be your own. Please show SEVERAL PICTURES from different angles and perspective so that we get to know the insect as good as possible.

• FULLY CHARACTERIZE AND DESCRIBE your chosen insect including details like Place of Spread, Appearance and a Timestamp. Also EXPLAIN us WHY IT IS especially INTERESTING OR IMPORTANT for you personally.

• The last point is an ESSENTIAL part of this contest; so at least 400 words are the minimum that should be covering this!

• Drop the LINK to your post IN THE COMMENTS. You can add a picture if you like. It is NECESSARY as I have to post a link in Discord on Friday, 5 days later for voting and also for my own compiling purposes.
  
  

If there is something not entirely clear to you, here is a example that you can get some impression on how to make a favorable entry.
👇

Prizes to Win :

• 1st : 1 HBD
• 2st : 0.5 HBD
  
  

I will present all participants in the entries section in the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later on Sunday (depending on my time schedule this may shift ^^). This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. As an special feature, the new title picture will be created from the entry of the contest winner. This time it is from @.

How are the Winners chosen ?

The voting on the winners will be done by the whole DNA community. Therefore we created a contest channel in the DNA Discord (Insects Of The World Contest). Here I will post the announcement post including the winners (Announcements) EACH SUNDAY together with all your entries (Entries) EACH FRIDAY. Every member of DNA will be able to assign voting emojis under the entries for 24 HOURS. In the end those three with the most are the lucky winners. I will engage as a judge in case of a draw ^^

THIS WEEKS WINNERS

@ridor5301	Lathrecista asiatica

The insect that was shown by @ridor5301 is a dragonfly. Dragonflies belong to the order of Odonata. In this case we get to see a female Lathrecista Asiatica. They have brilliant iridescent and metallic colors, large multifaceted eyes and posses elongated bodies, which make them super beautiful to watch. They have two pairs of strong and transparent wings and are fast and agile fliers.

@sumaiya777	Cuspicona simplex

he insect that was shown by @sumaiya777 is a bug from the order of Hemitptera. Here we get to know the Cuspicona Simplex, also known as the Green Potato bug. This insect gets only as large as 10 mm. It lays its eggs on the underside of crop leaves which need approximately 1 month to grow from the eggs to full adulthood. The Cuspicona Simplex is really well camouflaged on leaves which makes it very hard hard to detect.

[adalger]

Thank you for your entry @faisalamin 🤗 .. Your post are getting better each time and I read like like how you progress ^^

[faisalamin]

😍 Thanks for the kind words. It's all because of your kind guidance and support. More Love

[adalger]

Hehe, if you like guidance I have some more ideas actually, like adding a characktersation list, or going in far more deatail when you explain the appearance of other details about the insect, making several subchapters in this way.. Or adding a timestap where you tell the exact time and location where you found the insect .. There is always a way to improve your posts 😉 .. But this one is already nicely done 👍

[faisalamin]

Oh, nice. I just enable the timestamp option to show at the corner of every snap.

going in far more detail when you explain the appearance of other details about the insect, making several subchapters in this way.

What about this I really need your explanation in it. Thanks

[adalger]

Ohh, its just that if you show an insect you can explain more how for example their bodies, head and legs look like, if they are differeces between male and female, and so on .. The more information you provide, the higher quality your post have, and the more educational it is for all your readers .. It is about getting the best out of every picture .. It is not very nessassary, but I personally love many details 😅 .. I love to learn a lot whenever I read a post 😉 .. In addition I have a fable to wake up the little researcher in everyone ^^

[faisalamin]

Thanks for the explaination. I will definately focus on it, to improve the quality.

[adalger]

Thank you for this nice entry about the praying mantis @josueprime ^^ .. I like that picture that you added in addition where the female eats the head of the male one 🤣 .. I am really happy that humans are not practicing sexual cannibalism 😏
