Monomad :: Three pictures of insect species that I present today.

I submitted all these shots for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

Hi all macro image lovers, especially those who are already members of the #Blackandwhite community, I hope today will be a very enjoyable day for all of us.

As usual, today I'm back hunting for pictures of insects with the aim of getting some shots for me to capture in this beloved community as my collection on this very happy occasion.

As for the location of my hanting today, it is on the bank of a river or what is called a mound and on the mound a lot of shrubs grow, places like this are usually inhabited by insects.

At that time I headed to the location at 05.15 in the afternoon and when I arrived at the location I immediately took a photo of the first time I met an insect of the Dryophthorinae type, this species in Indonesia is considered a beetle.

This insect species is very sensitive, I was only able to take three pictures because at that time I touched it with my fingertips. If touched, they pretend to be dead. You can see their reaction in some of the pictures I posted of this species of insect playing dead.

Guys, after I took the first shot of the insect, I immediately continued my search for other objects and suddenly at that moment I found a species of bee that was very small and jet black in color.

they are Trigona. I found it in an amaranth flower growing on the bank of the river embankment at the same location. At that time, this species was sucking pollen from spinach flowers.

They are also very difficult to photograph because they don't stay on the flowers for long and are always flying around the amaranth flowers. This made it quite difficult for me to take the shot. I took many times but hard to focus.

This little bee has a very sweet honey, usually lodged in rotting logs. I've sorted some pictures and uploaded them below, you can see them in the pictures.

After I took some photos of the trigona I continued looking for other species and I again found a fly-like species, of course not flies but Rhiniidae, that's when I found them in the flowering grasses.

This species is also very unique, you can see its true color through the name link that I have included in this post or you can also see the name link that I have provided below the picture.

All my friends in this beloved community, that's all my brief encounter with Ada on today's occasion, hopefully we can meet again the next day. I thank all my friends who have been present in my post.

A pretty good capture of the insect that my best friend displays.
