Hi everyone.
How are you today, I hope everyone is well and healthy, so that they can do all their activities well today. Today I will share a photo that I took this morning about a red insect on a honey guava leaf.

The red insect that I saw on the honey guava leaf was more than one and they were busy looking for food because they were hungry. Honey guava has a sweet aroma and is attractive to many insects.

So, the red insects are looking for food on the honey guava leaf. This is a common behavior for insects, especially in the morning like this, when on average all living things feel hungry. So that's what these insects feel too.

They like to visit plants that smell sweet like honey guava. The red insects are also looking for nectar, which is a sweet liquid produced by plants, and are also looking for pollen, which is pollen produced by plants.

By looking for food on the honey guava leaf, the red insects also help in the pollination process of the plant. When insects visit the flowers or leaves of plants, they also carry pollen from one plant to another, thus helping in the pollination process.
However, to find out the exact type of insect, further observation is needed and perhaps also the help of an entomologist (insect scientist). You can try to observe the insect further, such as looking at its body shape, color, and behavior. Thus, we can find out the type of insect we see more precisely.
It is very interesting to observe the behavior of the red insect on the honey guava leaf.
