That morning, the atmosphere behind my house felt so fresh. Dew still clung to the leaves, and the gentle breeze carried the scent of wet earth. Excitedly, I started a little adventure in the bushes behind the house, hoping to find something interesting to use as a macro photography object.

It didn't take long before my gaze was drawn to something strange. On top of one of the green leaves, an insect was seen standing proudly with its long antennae hanging down. After getting closer and paying closer attention, I immediately recognized its distinctive features—this was an insect from the genus Canthesancus! His slender yet firm posture, coupled with the unique pattern on his back, made him look like a creature from another world.

These insects have long, thin legs, as if they were created to move across leaves nimbly. Its brownish color makes it blend perfectly with the shady bush environment, making it difficult for predators and less astute observers to find.

When I tried to get closer to take a photo, the Canthesancus remained calm, as if it was used to being the center of attention. Her movements were very slow, and every time I focused the macro lens, she looked like a professional model posing. That morning was such a pleasant moment, I felt connected to the natural surroundings, discovering the beauty that is often overlooked in the simple bushes behind the house.

NOTE: I first wrote the article above in Indonesian, which is my own language, then I translated it using English with the help of Goggle.
