Hello everyone good afternoon.....
Today I was walking again in nature and I found a baby lychee giant stink bug. My heart was very happy when I saw that beautiful baby. He has a striking combination of colors so I can easily find him. The baby insect is still very small and its body is very thin.
He was alone there, I tried looking for his family around but I didn't find him. What amazed me about the baby insect was that it wasn't afraid when I approached it. He was very relaxed standing there without moving an inch. He also doesn't give off an unpleasant aroma. He really is a miracle baby, very brave.
This insect is known as one of the main pests of lychee plants. But what I found was not in lychee plants but in weed plants. Maybe he stopped there for a while to survive or maybe he was playing there. But according to my feeling, his family was around that place, but they didn't show up. I'm sure they will monitor from a distance.
The colors of these baby insects are very beautiful, namely red and black. The pattern on its back is also very interesting, at first glance it is very similar to fish bones. For more details, you can look directly at the image that I attached below👇
