Net-winged Beetles | Lycidae

Dear friends wherever you are, How are you #NatureObserver lovers?.

Friends, on this occasion I am back again to share some images of unique and rarely found insects. I found this insect image a few days ago in my parents' garden. I thought when I saw this insect that it was a Sangit worm or a leaf walang that we often recognize as a pest on plants. But after I researched further, it turns out that this insect is called Lycidae.

Lycidae is included in the family in the beetle order Coleoptera, which is believed to be one of its members commonly called net-winged beetles. I rarely find this insect, it has two hairs on its head that are slightly long like horns that are black in color but not pointed. The body is orange and the tip of the tail is black. When I took a photo of this type of insect,

I quietly approached so that he would not fly away before I took the photo. But after approaching, it turns out that this insect is tame and does not fly easily when it stands on the leaves, as long as it does not disturb it. I tried to take a good photo by pulling the leaf so that he could be seen more clearly and finally I was able to take a pretty good photo as below:

I took all these pictures using my Redmi Note 9 pro camera and also used a macro lens of the apexel type to get more detailed images. All photos are also not edited and are original cellphone camera captures.

Thus, some of the images that I can provide this time hopefully can be useful for myself and should be useful for all my friends and see you in other interesting photos in the future.
