Monomad - Long-nosed beetles & stink bugs

This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

It's been a long time since I've been hunting insects & yesterday I had the chance to go back to hunting insects at a location I usually frequent. Because I couldn't stay long at the location, I didn't manage to photograph many insect species. Fortunately, I did capture two interesting insect species, which I'll share in this post.

The first insect is a species of long-snouted insect in the Curculionidae family, as we generally know this insect is known for its distinctive long snout. In addition, there are two antennas located between the right and left sides of the snout. Then on the side of the body it has a pattern of spots or small holes, and has six legs.

The second insect is a species of insect from the Coreidae family. This insect is also a plant pest. It's characterized by its odorous secretions, making it highly dangerous. I've uploaded some photos of it below:

I'd only seen the first insect in photographs, but these are the best quality ones; they're fantastic. Very well done. Cheers!
