Small insects are black and red, has a unique behavior. I've been trying to figure out, but it was not found, it's because I'm not an expert on insects.
Before taking a photo, I must first observe that the target would be in the photo. Can I approached to take close-up photos ?, usually the insects will fly or run away when we approached.
For the first time I saw this kind of small insects. He was stiff not move, when I took aim, these insects falling from the leaves of the bushes onto the grass. Damn, my smartphone record leaves only. Then I looked back around, I find the same insect on the leaf to another. The same thing happened repeatedly.
Then, I make observations back while taking photos. I can conclude, this insect monitoring the level of danger of the enemy by making him stiff, and pretending to be dead when danger approached.
These insects will rebuild, if they feel the danger has been lost or even the danger was so close, he would run or fly.
I do not waste time taking photos and videos when there is an insect that is pretending to be dead caught in the foliage, which is unique these insects wake of dead and fled when the "Tortoise Beetle" is approaching, you can see it in the video.
I am amazed by the behavior of this insect has a unique camouflage to danger.
After knowing his behavior, I also follow the insect's behavior so that the image must be gained. Because his behavior was I could not take photos perfectly, but luckily I had better video.
Take at Blang Raya, Lhokseumawe city, Aceh, with the smartphone camera of Xiaomi redmi Pro, additional macro lens.

More a beetle for sure, it might have a bit the look of an ant, it's a camouflage technique many have to avoid predators.
Look at flies looking like wasps, or non poisinous snakes, having the colour pattern of a poisonous one.
