Beetle | Diekeana admirabilis

in Nature Observerlast month

Hello dear friends good afternoon......

Yeach, I'm back here and today I have a beautiful little beetle. Have you ever seen this beetle? So, for those of you who live in an agricultural environment or like growing vegetables such as eggplant, you are definitely familiar with this beetle.

This beetle likes eggplant plants. The leaves of the eggplant plant are the tastiest food for him. Like when I met him, he was enjoying his delicious food. He continued to enjoy his food regardless of my presence nearby. Every bite leaves a trace of life, the leaves have holes, leaving memories for the plant. An extraordinary life story, slow but sure.

The shape of this beetle is very distinctive, at first glance it looks like a turtle. The body shape is oval with hard elytra, resembling a turtle shell. This beetle is brownish orange in color, complete with black spots on both elytra. All over its body there are fine feathers of the same color. And there is also a pair of tiny antennas that like to be moved. The antenna continued to move non-stop, as long as I was there.

In Latin, this beetle is known as Diekeana admirabilis, which is a species of beetle from the Coccinellidae family. This beetle is a beetle that is easy to find and recognize. Even though its size is very small, it is easy to see, because its body is filled with bright colors.

Thank.

Thank you.

Don't worry—ladybugs do not eat plant material. Aphids are a notorious pest that can devastate a garden, and ladybugs actually eat the aphids.

Yes, right. But what I found was a little different, he was enjoying the leaf he was perched on. Maybe he was starving.
