Monomad | Three species of small animals that I found in the small forest this Tuesday afternoon that looked so interesting and beautiful - 19 Photos
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.
Hi everyone. How are you all? I hope you're all having a great day and are all well. Today, I went back to explore a small forest not far from the neighboring village, and there I found several species of small, beautiful and graceful animals. As soon as I arrived, I immediately explored the small forest, and a few minutes later, I found a species of Weevil, also known as Curculionoidea, and I immediately approached it to take a closer look.
Weevils are beetles belonging to the superfamily Curculionoidea, known for their elongated snouts. They are usually small – less than 6 mm (1⁄4 in) in length – and herbivorous.....Wikipedia
And then I saw it crawling on one of the wild taro leaves that thrive in this small forest. And because of its unique shape and slightly blackish gray color, it was so striking, and as usual, I immediately took some close-up shots, and managed to capture some very beautiful and graceful images, which you can see below.
Then I found another species of green caterpillar that looked so interesting and unique, and this species of caterpillar is known by another name, namely Operophtera brumata. At that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild leaves, and without waiting long I immediately approached it to see from its long body shape that looked so perfect, and at that time I immediately took several shots of the picture that looked very beautiful and elegant, and you can see below some portraits of this caterpillar species in black and white.
The winter moth (Operophtera brumata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is an abundant species in Europe and the Near East and a famous study organism for evaluating insect population dynamics.....Wikipedia
Then I saw a species of spider preying on a small insect crawling on one of the wild leaves. And this species of spider is also known as Oxyopes salticus, and at that time I couldn't take too many pictures because this species of spider jumped in the direction and disappeared, and you can see below some of the portraits of this species of spider that I managed to take this afternoon.
Oxyopes salticus is a species of spider belonging to the family Oxyopidae. This species is also part of the genus Oxyopes and the order Araneae.....Wikipedia
