This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

Good evening everyone and have a nice day. Yesterday I went back around the swamp forest and before I left I always brought my smartphone camera and macro lens in a small bag that I carry wherever I go, and when I got there I immediately explored the swamp forest and hoped to get some small animal species for me this time.

And at that time I was walking and suddenly I saw a snout beetles crawling on one of the stems of wild plants, and at that time I immediately approached it to see it closely and without waiting long I took several different angles of pictures and it looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see below some portraits of the snout beetles species known by another name Curculionidae.

This species of snout beetles has a unique body shape with a snout that looks so attractive and perfect, has eyes that look so attractive and usually this species of snout beetles likes to play in wild grass or other short plants, and at that time I took pictures from several different angles to see the interesting side of this species of snout beetles.

The Curculionidae are a family of weevils, commonly called snout beetles or true weevils.....Wikipedia

Then I continued my hunt again and a few minutes later I found another species of beetle or better known as Buprestis aurulenta, from its small shape with a color that looks so attractive and perfect, and at that time I saw it crawling on one of the dry tree trunks and at that time I immediately took it, and on that occasion I immediately took several different angles of the picture and it looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see below some portraits of this beetle species.

Buprestis aurulenta is a species of beetle belonging to the family Buprestidae. This species is also part of the order Coleoptera.....Wikipedia
