Northern sharp stink bug
On a beautiful, peaceful morning, I back again encountered a tiny creature perched on the tip of an old branch. At first, the little creature looked very calm, standing on the tip of the branch, displaying a truly beautiful charm. However, while I was taking pictures, it suddenly moved, but not far, staying on the same plant.
First, it moved to a fresh green leaf. I hadn't finished photographing it before it was on this green leaf. Suddenly, it moved again, this time to the stem. It didn't stay there long either. Then, it moved again to an unopened flower. There, it remained still for a while. Judging by its behavior, this little creature resembled a very experienced model in photoshoots. It controlled its position and pose.
This little creature was a Northern sharp stink bug, or Tylospilus acutissimus in Latin. This was the first time I had encountered this stink bug. It was truly beautiful. Look at its body, reflecting a very beautiful shimmer, a light with an honest simplicity. He was there like a little secret that nature had deliberately hidden and brought me together at this time.

That's great @reachdreams! We're excited to see your accomplishments on Hive! Keep going!
What a amazing bug! I see a face in the markings on it's shell. Eyes, nose and a mouth with a hint of a smile!
Sending you some Ecency curation votes!
I didn't realize there was a cute pattern on its shell. Reading your comment, I took another look at the stink bug's body. It does indeed have a face-like pattern. Nature really does love creating cute illusions like this. Thank you Mom, for your support.

Even though this insect was moving around, you managed to get some excellent photos! I know what it's like to be constantly watching out for a moving bird or insect while trying to get the perfect shot. Well done on your results!
