#273 - I was watering the plants when this tiny bug comes around. It may have been lost here because in our area there are not enough grassy lands, just a bunch of houses close together. The only area where there is a small meadow, but not technically a meadow but just a grassy lot is about five hundred meters away. So it was a long flight to get here for this tiny critter. It looks tired as well but it still tries to move every now and then.

Since I already posted all of my macro shots of insects and there is no way for me to get more shots. I went inside the house and pulled my Lumix and took some photos of this insect.

Its body is elongated and there are small black dots a well in its belly area. Its two antenna are also moving while it moves perhaps checking for signals.😁

This insect has similarities to the Conifer seed bug that stinks a lot but this is a bit smaller and has skinny legs. Plus the Conifer is a bit darker in color compared to this one.

I believe this is also considered as a pest by farmers because it somehow cause crops destruction.

It is a rare occasion that an insect like this come and visit. Most of the time are just bees looking for pollens but they only come alone and even take days of weeks before another shows up. Unlike in the province or country side where you see insects everywhere.

As a reference on the size of this critter, here is my index finger pointing to the insect. This shot was taken using my Poco phone while the rest above are with my 4year old Lumix.😊
