Hello interesting insect lovers... Today I want to greet all of you with two interesting insect species that I photographed some time ago. Of course I didn't find these two insect species in the same location but in two different locations.
The first insect is a species of damselfly from the Coenagrionidae family. In Indonesia, this dragonfly is often referred to as the needle dragonfly, this is probably because the shape of this dragonfly's tail is small and long. Meanwhile, the binomial name for this dragonfly itself is Agriocnemis femina.
"Agriocnemis femina, the variable wisp or pinhead wisp is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is a small damselfly; mature males have a white pruinescence over their body, and a dark tail. It is found from India, through South-east Asia to islands in the Pacific." Wikipedia
Then the second insect is a type of wasp, and it seems to be part of the Sphex pensylvanicus wasp. I myself found this wasp on wild plants in the bushes when he was looking for nectar in the flowers of these wild plants.
"Sphex pensylvanicus, the great black wasp, is a species of digger wasp". Wikipedia
This wasp is quite large in size and is pitch black or bluish black like a metallic color. Quite wild & aggressive, was lucky I was able to capture some photos even though the shots weren't very perfect.
I think this is normal. Because what I was photographing was a wasp, of course I wasn't too brave to take risks, and the nature of the wasp's constant movement made it difficult for me to shoot it.
