Monomad | Spiders & soldier beetles that look so beautiful and graceful on this bright Sunday

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

On this occasion, as usual, I went back around the small forest to look for small animal species. And before I left, I always brought a smartphone camera and a macro lens in a small bag that I carry wherever I go, and hopefully on this bright Sunday I can get some small animal species, and when I got there I immediately explored this small forest and a few moments later I found a black spider species that looked so interesting and beautiful, and this spider species is known by another name, namely Hyllus.

Hyllus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders).....Wikipedia

And at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild taro leaves that grew abundantly in this small forest. And at that time I immediately approached it to see it closely very carefully so that this black spider species would not jump in another direction, and without waiting long I immediately approached the macro lens towards this spider species, and managed to take several different angles of the picture and it looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see below some portraits of this spider species.

Then after I photographed this spider species and accidentally saw a species of soldier beetles or better known by another name, namely Cantharis rufa. And at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild leaves of the bushes of wild plants, and its small shape with its rather slender body that looked so attractive with an orange color that looked so bright, and as usual I immediately took some portraits of this species of soldier beetles that looked so perfect and beautiful, and you can see below some portraits of this species of soldier beetles.

Cantharis rufa is a species of soldier beetles native to Europe.....Wikipedia

Lately I have had a hard time finding spiders, and even if I do find them, they are very wild.
