Hello dear friends good afternoon.....
Yeach, today we return to the world of insects. Being in the world of insects is always fun, you never get bored at all. In fact, it becomes addictive. If you don't hunt for a day, it feels like something is missing in your life. It's so fun to enter their world.
Well, today I managed to find a flea beetle. For those of you who are insect lovers, you must be familiar with this insect. The beetle that I found has an interesting characteristic. Its entire body is shiny yellow combined with black. On the elytra there are characteristic black spots, approximately ten dots.
Today the world of insects is in mourning, the beetle that I found is not doing well. He looked very weak, like he had no strength at all. He also couldn't walk on the leaves where he stopped. But he kept trying and trying to move his body, even though he failed. Several times he tried to fly, but always failed.
I tried to examine his body, find out why he was helpless. I found the elytra was damaged. The elytra are hollow but not very visible. Most likely his thin wings were damaged too, so he couldn't fly. From the look in his eyes, he was asking for help, but I didn't know what he needed. I can only hope that no more predators try to attack it again. I felt sorry for the suffering the beetle experienced.
