INSECT LIFE: TINY SPECIES AROUND US

---

Another challenge has been caught by my eyes! And it's from in this community. Seems very interesting that's why I hurriedly went to our school garden. It's a kind of interesting in a sense that we can be vigilant to tiny species around us,where there's also life. Sometimes, we neglected them and snapped them right away if we caught them on act. Which is a big no no.

Here's some snippets of my short tour in our school garden where I found arachnids.

Praying Mantis

This is Praying Mantis, which I first spotted in the garden. As I observed, it has something on its mouth. Ohh.. It's a bug! Mantis hunts its prey with its long legged to easily grasp it. It has various types of Mantis, the other one is brown color which I think it camouflage to its environment to trap its prey.

Hornet

Hornet are designed to sip nectars from flowers aside from bees. In our garden, the flowering plants were about to give us healthy vegetables however, before it happened, it should be taken cared of the it.

Although they are insects, and forbidden to get near to plants that may distract the growth, but it has also role to plants which they also needed to live.

Black Garden Ants

These are black garden ants that we usually seen on the garden, dead trees, and in other areas. They act as decomposers in our environment in the sense that they eat dead organics and other insects, with this it keeps our environment clean.

Grasshopper

I scrutinize the plants why it's damaged. Then, a grasshopper hops onto the pot which I slowly take a photo of it.

Grasshoppers are commonly in green and brown color. They eat plants especially vegetables with healthy growth. It's yummy in their tummy😋.

White Aphids

White aphids are common in our garden which should be controlled because it may affect the growth of the plants. We can easily identify them as it appeared whitish in our garden.

---

Grass Spider

Grass Spiders are commonly found in the morning dew. They made web as their habitat and also to attract their prey. Generally, they eat other insects to live.

---

Fly

Capturing this insect is sort of hard in way that it flies right away if it's disturbed. Flies are generally scavengers because it consumed rubbish and rotten organics.

These insects have important roles in ecosystem which we can't notice with our very eyes. Their life depends on what is available in their environment.
