| Mictis tenebrosa | May 04 2025 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |
when walking into the forest under the sunset, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the beauty of nature along with the green leaves that spoil the eyes, I always take the time to walk into the forest even if only for a moment so that my brain is refreshed and find many ideas for the uncertain journey of life, every time I go to the forest I seem to find myself and my new spirit, I seem to find a lost part of myself with the shade of the trees and the cool atmosphere that pierces the bones, the sound of birds chirping in the distance also conveys invisible messages but can be understood by the soul, in my opinion the forest is a heaven for its lovers and a home for various species and animals.
I am always lucky when walking in the forest, I not only find beauty but I also find beautiful species that live in it, just like this trip to the forest I found one species of insect that looks relaxed because it doesn't move much like most other insects, yeah this relaxed insect is popular with its scientific name "Mictis tenebrosa" which is one species of insect that has a hard body shape and long legs like a predator who can prey at any time in their environment.
because of the relaxed nature of these insects I had many opportunities to get their pictures from different positions, as if they were giving me the opportunity to capture them from various angles and in this case they became the models, this sounds strange but that's how nature works, some of the parts that are the attraction of these insects are the first two long horns like antennas, long and slender front legs, but in the back legs there is a slight widening at the base of the thigh, while the body of this insect is harder and the color of its body allows them to camouflage in dry leaves or dead grass so that they are safe from being targeted by predators that are bigger than them.
