Good evening steemit friends in the #worldofxpilar community and also my friends who like macros with animal themes, well tonight I want to post about macro photography of green gem beetles.
The green beetle that I photographed with a macro camera, this is the friend of the post. I hope you like it and can be an inspiration to all of you. The gem green beetle is a beetle that lives mainly in trees, and most often perches on leaves. Because this beetle feeds on green leaves, its attractive color and small shape make this beetle attractive. This beetle is a tame animal, not afraid of human existence. Its heavy body makes this beetle unable to fly high and fast.
The gem beetle can be called the longest-lived insect because it can live more than 30 years. To breed, the gem beetle must look for burned forests. The gem beetle will lay its eggs on trees that have been burned. it can smell smoke from burning trees in the forest, even though it is more than 80 km away. In addition to its sharp smell, the gem beetle can also detect infrared radiation or body heat emitted by an animal. The gem beetle can be found in Indonesia, Asia, or South America. It is called the gem beetle because its body color is shiny and attractive so it looks beautiful like a gem. The gem beetle body size is about 2 cm.
The gem beetle is a species that is quite easy to find, docile, and approachable. up to a distance of 30 cm. Gem beetles love to perch on green leaves in style. Gem beetles often look like they are getting ready to fly, especially when they are at the tips of plant shoots. Beetles are a type of insect that has 5-8 million species worldwide. Forty percent of all insect species are beetles. The body of beetles has multi-layered wings so that they belong to the order Coleoptera. Some beetles are pests, but some are plant pest controllers. Beetles can be found in almost all habitats throughout the world, except Antarctica.
This photography is original photography that I managed to capture the moment in the #worldofxpilar community using a xiaomi camera. The place for the camera capture is located at the workplace of the Simpang ektren branch of Goat Curry which is located in Meunasah Mee cage, lhokseumawe city.
So many of my posts may look short but very useful for all friends.
