hunting insects in the morning

in Nature Observer2 days ago

Hello Hive friends❤

This morning I was in the chili garden to look for unique insects that I could show to all my friends in the #natureobserver community. I am very interested in learning about small animals such as spiders and everything in nature, and can be used as research material and published on the platform and I really like to contribute to all my friends around the world

Without further ado, let me show you my catch today, I hope my Hive friends like it

Insect namecalliphoridae
Original sourcelink

I found this green fly on the edge of a chili plant in a place where fish scales are left as we know that this green fly often perches on carcasses and it will come by itself from nowhere to approach and eat the carcass and it will release the larvae of the rotting caterpillar and will finish it off slowly and surely

We rarely find this fly in clean places such as in houses and places that smell good, this fly is often found in piles of garbage in places where there are carcasses and is indicantly fond of rotten aromas.

Insect namemiltogramminae
Original sourcelink

This fly is often found in open places and is often in houses and also often perches on food, this fly is very disturbing because it can transmit larvae to food which can cause ecoli bacteria which cause diarrhea

Basically, flies are very bad for human health, but flies also have an important role in the food chain cycle in nature, with the presence of flies that transmit larvae to carcasses, the carcass will decompose quickly.

Moving about five meters forward, I found a butterfly that had not hatched and was still neatly wrapped in its shell and stuck to a hanging coconut leaf, then I tried to approach it and observe it carefully, at first I was doubtful about this discovery, I had no knowledge about this, then I found out from a trusted source

This cocoon will undergo metamorphosis at the right time and it will soon turn into a caterpillar, maybe we all know this, but I don't know for sure what kind of butterfly is inside it

In addition, I also found traces of a butterfly shell that had changed and only a little was left attached to the coconut leaf

butterfly shell

It seems that a few days ago there was a metamorphosis here and a new generation of butterflies was born that would decorate the world, I was late to find it, maybe it could fly and start sucking flower nectar.

That's the result of my hunt in nature today, see you in the next post
