Hello, my beloved Ecency family, how are you all today? I wish that all of you are all healthy and well today. I have the common species that I have shared here on Hive and Ecency for a few times already. It is a species that has a colorful and beautiful pattern, but could bring a big destruction to the cotton planting business.
This little guy is the cotton stain bug, and as the name suggests it is one of the pests in the cotton plantation, as it will feed on the cotton seed which then transfers some fungi in the process which in the end could cause some stain in the final cotton yield, thus causing problems to the cotton plantation problem.
That is the reason, although this is such a beautiful insect that you can appreciate in nature, their presence is not welcome by the farmer.
I am so happy that despite seeing this insect around my house, lucky that there are no cotton plantations here in my place, so that it won't cause any problem for the farmer. The places that I found this little guy are only the wild plants mostly weeds that grow in the unattended area.
And here is the bonus shot of the wild black grasshopper which unfortunately I could only get one shot before it flew away.

I am a Balinese man, a father of a toddler son, working in the hospitality industry, who has recently found a passion for macro photography. I want to share the photos that I've taken here on Hive. I appreciate any comments or feedback you leave on my posts and kindly invite you to be part of my journey in this vast Hive Ocean. Thank you very much | |
