In a quiet and peaceful corner of the forest, there is a pair of Graptostethus servus insects enjoying quality time on a sprig of wild flower buds. His fantastic appearance made me stunned and I couldn't wait to get close to him. Its appearance is very distinctive and striking in reddish orange, white and black. The color combination is very interesting and of course steals the attention of macro photography lovers.
The distinctive pattern on its back and wings manages to make the insect's appearance even more attractive. On its back there are three lines and two black dots on a reddish orange background, at first glance the pattern resembles a mask. On the wings there is also a pattern that is no less interesting, if you look closely the wing pattern resembles someone wearing a suit complete with a pitch black tie. In terms of appearance, insects are superior.
There is one more thing that makes this insect look even more perfect, its entire body is protected by dense, dense gray hairs. These feathers will not be visible if we look at them with the naked eye. It's natural that it can't be seen, considering that its body size is very small, especially since its body armor is automatically even smaller.
For its habitat, this insect prefers areas where there are flowering plants that produce fruit and seeds. Because grains are the main food source for these insects. We rarely find this insect alone, at least with its partner like the two lovebirds I met.
