Macro photography: detail of two insects

12 days ago

Hello everyone
A few weeks ago, I had a chance to meet these two types of insect species when I was walking around my backyard, these two types of insects in my opinion belong to the category of dangerous types of insects, you can see how ferocious the bite of one of the wasps and one of the types of longhorned beetles is, if I talk about these two insects that I found, of course there are some experiences that have been experienced by some friends I have felt the pain of the bite of these two types of insects, they may like to roam in areas that are a little slum and damp, because to my knowledge the type of wasp does belong to several groups, the size is also different.

On top of one of the water reservoirs behind the house, perched on one of the wasp insect species, I don't know for sure what this wasp is standing on top of the water reservoir, I watched from a distance so that this wasp did not fly away from me, slowly my footsteps moved little by little so as not to be caught by this wasp, Because I use a macro image, of course I have to be closer to the wasp, because I only use a clipped macro lens on my cellphone, automatically I have a minimum distance between me and the object of about 45 mm, just show how close I am to this ferocious creature.

I kept approaching the wasp while pointing my phone camera at this wasp, when I started to take pictures of it, suddenly this wasp knew that someone was looking at it, his movements began to be seen from the beginning of his standing until I noticed the movement of his legs, in my heart I was actually afraid of also dealing with this alien creature, Generally he wasn't alone, there were always other troops escorting from behind, I thought this was one of the kings of this wasp because I suddenly heard a strange sound from a distance, it seemed like his army was coming, and I immediately dodged after shooting three pictures of this wasp.

This large insect species is known as one of the types of longhorned beetles, this large beetle is very rare for me to see, except at certain times, I don't know where it hides when it suddenly disappears from its tracks, there may be certain times when they appear in the yard or in the grass, interestingly this longhorned beetle has a very Uni characteristic where you can see in the part of its head it has two A clamp next to its mouth, this is one of the weapons for this longhorned beetle, and its four long legs are possible to speed up the movement of its legs when this longhorned beetle is aiming for its prey, its face is so haunted and scary, don't try to get close to it if you don't want to get hurt.

This longhorned beetle is also not only in its fast leg movements this beetle also has a very fast jump, I saw this longhorned beetle in one of the very narrow corners around which there are many rocks around it, at first I was hesitant to take a picture of it, the reason this beetle is so scary, I dared to approach it so that I could collect some pictures of this haunted creature, Even though I tried to take a picture of it, I was still vigilant and very careful in photographing this flower, I got some good pictures of this creature, my heart started to pound but I tried to focus so that the image I produced was perfect. that's why no matter how scary or harmful insects are to me, I will try to do it,What is clear is that I have to be ready for the risk.
