Stink bug

in Nature Observer4 days ago

In the middle of the fresh green leaves I found a stink bug standing gracefully on one of the leaves there. Actually he was not alone there, there were still many other friends. It's just that his other friends flew to other places when I approached their place. When the others had left he was alone there. I approached his place very carefully, so as not to cause something that would scare him and leave me.

The stink bug was very beautiful, green combined with dark brown. When highlighted by sunlight, its brown back looked very beautiful like a golden glow. Its body shape was also very beautiful, namely slender and long. Its antennae were also very beautiful, long, smooth and slightly curved. If we look closely, its antennae are like fine brushes used to paint nature that never makes mistakes in designing a miracle. Its long and slender legs are also no less interesting.

For photography lovers, especially in the field of nature observation, this stink bug is the most sought after object. But for farmers, this stink bug is the biggest enemy, especially for farmers who grow rice. If these stink bugs successfully attack rice plants and are not immediately eradicated, it will be fatal, there will be a crop failure. They will suck all the liquid contained in the young rice grains. In addition, stink bugs also give up long bean plants, they will do the same thing they did to rice plants.

Sorry for the farm whose rice farm is attacked by sting bug.

Thank you, they are gathering on the weeds instead of the cultivated plants.
