Small fallen beetles
Hello Hivers
Hello insect lovers wherever you are, this time I found an interesting moment about an insect that fell while enjoying its food, I managed to capture this moment on my smartphone camera
Aulacophora is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae , commonly known as pumpkin beetle; Some species are pests of agricultural crops. The genus was named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, in Dejean's Catalog des Coléoptères. Her name, from Ancient Greek, means "groove-bearer"' from aulax , "groove"

At first I thought that this beetle was showing its ridiculous behavior towards me, but after paying attention, it turned out that its legs were sticky to the plants it landed on, which is the beetle's favorite food, I managed to capture the seconds of the beetle's fall perfectly.
Pay attention to the first and last pictures, at first he seemed excited to enjoy his food, but after feeling uncomfortable with my presence, he tried to run away, but the unexpected happened, he got stuck in his own food plate and soon fell, the last picture is seen with it was clear how she screamed for help
Previously I had seen the same moment, but not as detailed as this, I don't know what kind of plant it ate, but it was really sticky, when I tried to touch it, the fruit from the plant released sap and got stuck between the fine hairs I have the one in my hand, so it's only natural that this ladybug can't get out of the way when it's stuck
For this time, that's all I can share, thank you and see you soon
