Monomad | Found three species of small animals that look very beautiful & enchanting from today's small forest hunt

7 days ago (Edited)

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

On this occasion I had no activities outside so on this sunny day I went back around the small forest. And in this small forest area there are so many wild plants that grow abundantly so that there are several species of small animals playing in these wild leaves, and when I arrived there I immediately explored the small forest and suddenly I found a species of cricket or better known by another name, namely Xenogryllus.

And at that time I saw it crawling on one of the fern leaves that grew abundantly in this small forest, and its small body shape with a slightly whitish yellow color and as usual I immediately approached the macro lens towards this cricket, and took several portraits of pictures that looked very beautiful and graceful because this cricket has its own characteristics, and you can see them below.

Then I found another species of butterfly, Papilio demoleus, and from its body shape it was rather large compared to other types of butterflies, and the color motifs looked very beautiful and unique and at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild leaf stems, and as usual I immediately took some portraits of this butterfly species which looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see them below.

_{The citrus butterfly (Papilio demoleus) is a type of butterfly from the Papilionidae family. It is so named because the caterpillars of this butterfly usually live and become pests on citrus trees.....Wikipedia}

Then I found another species of needle dragonfly or better known by another name, namely Protoneuridae. This species of needle dragonfly has a slender and long body shape with a black motif color that looks very attractive, and at that time I took several different angles of the picture to make it look very beautiful and attractive because this species of needle dragonfly has its own characteristics that look so perfect. And you can see it below.

_{Protoneuridae was formerly considered a family of damselflies.....Wikipedia}
