Monomad - Beetles in the family Curculionidae

This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

Earlier at around 10.20 WIB I was in the bush area on the edge of the river, precisely in Serbajaman Tunong Village, Tanah Luas, Aceh, Indonesia to hunt several types of interesting insects. Sometimes I go with a friend but today I hunted alone, even though the location was quiet, a beetle from the Curculionidae family was able to entertain me with its unique behavior.

How could it not be, when I approached my favorite macro lens towards it the beetle actually pretended to be dead and fell to the ground. I smiled and shook my head because this beetle's tricks were old to me, so I picked up the beetle which had fallen to the ground with its body stiff and then placed it on the leaf of a wild plant.

While waiting for the beetle to pretend to regain consciousness, I directed the focus of my macro lens towards it, and I have uploaded some of the shots that I managed to capture below.

Great photo my friend.

How amazing is macro photography that allows us to see those details that go so unnoticed from our everyday point of view. Excellent photographs, I loved seeing those details in the beetle!
