Another Ryukyu Jewel Beetle on Twig

in Beauty of Creativity19 days ago

As this beetle did not move quite a lot, I tried to get some shots while it was crawling on rotting twig and sometimes it moved quickly that made me wait for a couple minutes to get the whole appearance of this beetle. It is considered a common insect that lives in rotten wood, and occasionally seen around the bush but their appearance often tempted me to take shots. Knowing it was back on the spot, I started playing with some clicks, but all of sudden, it was trying to hide from my sight which made me do some effort to get its head. I finally got its body shots and head that admire me about this creature and it always attracts me with its unique appearance. It's been a while I did not deal with macro stuff, so a few days ago, I managed to capture this species of beetle using that device. Great to see this beetle with this look, and for a moment it stayed still as if it was there for me. Seeing that, I tried to take its pictures from the closest range, so that I could possibly see the unique things it has, the two big eyes and beautiful color.

You have presented something great, their physical structure and color are not very understandable. But you have managed to do it.
