Red Cotton Bug | Dysdercus cingulatus

    Hello everyone good morning......

    Still in the same world of #insects, being in their world is very exciting. They are true friends who are always willing to be my models. They were happy to make time for me. They never once protested when I wanted to take a photo, although sometimes some of them liked to tease me. But that's not enough, I'll understand, they also need entertainment, being able to prank me is the biggest gift for them.

    Well today I found a group of very beautiful insects, called the Red Cotton Bug. There were a lot of them, but most of them ran away when I approached the place. They didn't run far, only ran to places they thought were safe or I couldn't reach. There were also those who arranged to dance in front of me. There's a lot of behavior, but it's okay, it all makes me happy. Free entertainment that must be watched, it would be a waste to skip it.

    It seemed like they were attending a family event, they were all gathered there, I saw everyone from babies to adults there. If they can be arranged then I will invite them all to do a family photo session. But what can they do, they don't want to cooperate. Even though I really want it.

    In fact, the insect is very small, but its striking color is easy to see. The colors of these insects are reddish orange, white and black. Interesting color combination. My model today is not an adult insect, it is a young person whose limbs are not yet complete, and does not yet have wings.
