Beetle henosepilachna pusillanima

On a beautiful and peaceful morning, when the sun began to shine softly I walked around the vegetable garden. At that time, dew drops were still shyly attached to the surface of the leaves. While focusing on the fresh leaves, my eyes accidentally glanced at a small black-spotted beetle resting on the tip of a young leaf. Its beautiful appearance made me impatient to immediately approach it.

The beetle was golden orange decorated with black dots that formed a unique pattern. When the sun shone on its body, its aura of beauty radiated even more. I am sure anyone who glanced at it would be fascinated. Actually, the beetle was very small in size, but its bright color made it easy for us to know its whereabouts. The beetle was also a tame beetle, it did not immediately leave when we approached it. He only left when he felt disturbed.

The place where the beetle stood was very supportive, as if nature already knew that I was going to use the beetle as a model. Try to pay attention, the leaf where it stood was still very young, still covered in soft, fine hairs. The expanse of other leaves around it became the perfect background, creating a natural peaceful impression.

In Latin, this beetle is known as Henosepilachna pusillanima, a beetle from the Coccinellidae family. This beetle is very similar to a pest-eating beetle. But don't be fooled by its appearance. The beetle I found is a leaf-eating beetle. Or in other words, this beetle is a pest for eggplant and pumpkin plants. The one I found was in an eggplant garden.
