Not part of the danger!

in #hive-1322482 months ago

My first reaction when I photograph this insect is that I will try to find this guy in the wasp daily because it has a scary-looking body just like a wasp, which is ready to sting you whenever it has the chance.

But then when I tried to match my photo and what had been posted in the internet, of course with the help of our beloved knows-it-all Uncle Google, I found out that it is a seed bug and not particularly a wasp.

This might be a Nerthus. Nerthus is a genus of seed bugs and allies in the family Heterogastridae. There are at least three described species in Nerthus, found in China and Southeast Asia.

it has a shiny black body, except for some yellow markings on its thorax, at the base of its wings, and also at the end of its upper abdomen. Luckily it doesn't have any dangerous sting, but still, it can wreak having on the seed of the plant that we have. Since it like to use the seed as the place to put their egg.

The shiny black body really stood out against the leaf it's resting on. It definitely looks like a wasp at first glance :)

Yes man, it doesn't have a stinger, but boy is it better that it doesn't land on us hahaha, there is always some danger big or small with these insects, but I love that you love them and that they inspire you to photograph them. They are good photos and it's the best way for me to see them up close. Excellent post brother!...

It just masquerades as a wasp to scare away predators! Evolution at it's fines!

I wish I could clean mirrors for a living.
It's just something I can see myself doing.
