Hello everyone, on this occasion I would like some photos of Berytidae preying on what I found in the forest while exploring, the insect has a unique appearance with its long legs, slender body and small head, I never thought that this insect was capable of preying on other insects that has a medium body and a hard shell, and I noticed that the prey was pressed several times and not long ago the prey went limp and died.

The uniqueness of Berytidae not only lies in its slender body, but another uniqueness is also found in the long antennae with small segments which form the main part of Berytidae for prey. This insect moves slowly as if it were dancing among the leaves with its prey, its body color is brownish. making them able to camouflage well in an environment of dry leaves, so I was lucky to find them while preying on a piece of green leaves, actually Berytidae are rarely seen and this was my first experience finding them in the forest.

By sharing some of these photos I hope you can get to know the Berytidae insects more closely, let's take a peek at some of the Berytidae photos I have prepared for you, thank you very much for visiting my blog, see you in the next post & have a nice day ☺️
