Red Bordered Stink Bug (Edessa rufomarginata)

This species stays under the genus Eurydema that is identified by the dramatically colored, red, and black bug. Red is the dominant color with the black marks on the shield and along the edge. That was my second time finding it outdoor and I had to find a good chance to capture this beautiful red bug but before that, I had to deal with the high. So when I knew it did not make a lot of moves, I picked the leaf and brought it down to the ground so I could be able to capture its whole appearance. It finally realized that it was no longer safe and flying away. When I felt right, I managed to take a couple of shots from different angles with my smartphone plus external macro. I am still fond of hunting insects. This time I did not go to the far place, but I decided to walk around my neighbor. So, I made a short work to the bush along the village street side. Although I often found the same objects, they always look different to me, especially the place they hang out and the way they expose themselves in the bush.
