Hello, my friends, I welcome you all back to this beloved community. I hope you are all staying healthy and happy, allowing you to carry out your daily activities as usual. I hope you all have a pleasant day.

On this occasion, I would like to share some more images with you all. This afternoon, I managed to find an insect that is also a pest for some farmers, as its presence causes crop failure.

I found it perched on wild leaves and then captured some images to share with this beloved community.

As I said above, a few days ago, precisely in the afternoon, I found an insect which is considered a pest by some farmers. This is where I found the insect, which is where I captured some of the pictures that show wild leaves in the forest or bushes.

"Mr. Pucung Kapas" is the name of this insect in our language. It is a pest of cotton plants. The adult and older nymphs usually feed on emerging cotton bolls and ripening cotton seeds. I personally found this species to be predominantly red.

Okay, friends, those are some pictures and a short caption from me for this meeting. I hope you all enjoyed and were entertained by what I shared. See you at the next meeting.
