Last weekend, I rented a house in the countryside for my son's birthday party. We stayed there all weekend and it was a lot of fun. During those two days, I took the opportunity to take some photos of the things I found interesting. Perhaps it's a good time for those who like to photograph insects, as it's at this time of year, here in Brazil, that they start to come out of their cocoons, holes and hiding places.
While I was sitting and relaxing, I noticed a large beetle moving around in the grass. This piqued my curiosity, and as I had my cell phone in my hand, I decided to take some pictures of it.
I'm a bit obsessed with insects. I find them fascinating and, perhaps, I have a special sympathy for beetles, I like the sturdy shape they seem to have. I once heard that it would be physically impossible for beetles to fly, either because of the aerodynamics of their wings or the small size of their brains. I don't know if that's true, but I've always enjoyed watching them and admired the effort they make to fly around.
I remember when I was a child, at times like this, when the beetles go out to breed or do whatever they do. On the lampposts, several would fly around, attracted by the light. Back then, I would watch these beetles, and when they fell to the ground face up, I would go and swat them away. But it was a thankless job: as soon as they flew back up and fell again, they were on their bellies again, and it went on and on. It was an endless activity.
I find the diversity of the beetles very interesting. This one, for example, had a joint in the middle of its thorax, not all of which are like that. Some have claws and not all are black. Later that same day, I saw a metallic beetle, with various shades of color that changed as the light hit it, but when I thought about taking a picture, it just flew away. That was only the third time I've seen a metallic beetle in my life, and it's beautiful. I rarely see those huge ones with rhino-like horns. Maybe those are my favorites.
Anyway, this is a great time to admire these little guys, and I hope there will be other opportunities to find different species. When I find them, I'll take more photos!

No fim de semana passado, aluguei uma casa no campo para fazer a festa de aniversário do meu filho. Ficamos lá todo o fim de semana, e foi bem divertido. Durante esses dois dias, aproveitei para tirar algumas fotos das coisas que achava interessantes. Talvez seja um bom momento para quem gosta de fotografar insetos, pois é nessa época do ano, aqui no Brasil, que eles começam a sair de seus casulos, buracos e esconderijos.
Enquanto eu estava sentado e relaxando, notei um senhor besouro se mexendo pela grama. Isso aguçou minha curiosidade, e como eu estava com o celular na mão, decidi tirar algumas fotos dele.
Eu sou um pouco obcecado por insetos. Acho-os fascinantes e, talvez, eu tenha uma simpatia especial pelos besouros, gosto da forma robusta que eles parecem ter. Uma vez ouvi dizer que, fisicamente, seria impossível para os besouros voarem, seja pela aerodinâmica das asas ou pelo tamanho reduzido do cérebro. Não sei se isso é verdade, mas sempre gostei de observá-los e admirei esse esforço que fazem para conseguir voar por ai.
Lembro-me de quando eu era criança, em épocas como essa, quando os besouros saem para se reproduzir ou fazer o que quer que façam. Nos postes de luz, vários ficavam voando, atraídos pela luminosidade. Naquela época, eu ficava observando esses besouros, e quando eles caíam no chão de barriga para cima, eu ia lá e desvirava todos. Mas era um trabalho ingrato: assim que voltavam a voar e caíam de novo, ficavam de barriga para cima outra vez, e isso não parava de acontecer. Era uma atividade infinita.
Acho muito legal a diversidade dos besouros. Esse, por exemplo, tinha uma articulação no meio do tórax, nem todos são assim. Alguns possuem garras, e nem todos são pretos. Nesse mesmo dia, mais tarde, vi um besouro metálico, com vários tons de cores que mudavam conforme a luz batia nele, mas, quando pensei em tirar uma foto, ele simplesmente voou. Essa foi apenas a terceira vez que vi um besouro metálico na vida, e ele é lindo. Raramente vejo aqueles enormes, com chifres que parecem de rinoceronte. Talvez esses sejam os meus preferidos.
Enfim, essa é uma ótima época para admirar esses carinhas, e espero que surjam outras oportunidades de encontrar espécies diferentes. Quando eu os encontrar, vou tirar mais fotos!
