“Just like a honeybee, it was peacefully sleeping on a grass stem, balancing itself so elegantly. It looked like a baby in deep sleep — a gift from nature, undisturbed by wind, breeze, or rain. The bee’s body displayed beautiful textures in shades of brown and yellow ochre, resembling dark golden hues along its back. The scene was serene, with the bee resting on a green stem under a mix of sun and clouds. Captured using a Nikon Z7 with a Nikon 105mm lens.”
Have you ever met a junk bug? This tiny creature, only a few millimeters long, carries bits of debris on its back — including white cotton-like threads. At first glance, it looks adorable, until you realize what it’s actually carrying: the remains of its prey, worn like trophies or armor. It’s nature’s own little collector, part scavenger and part camouflage expert. When I first saw it, I thought it was just a bit of fluff or plant debris stuck to a leaf. But as I looked closer, I noticed tiny legs and eyes — and realized it was alive.
I spotted a net-winged beetle from the Lycidae family, watching me intently — almost as if it could see and smell me. It perched delicately on the edge of a leaf, balancing itself with quiet grace. Its body glowed in rich Indian red, blending with earthy browns and soft yellow tones. The beetle’s long, elegant antennae crowned its head, while its simple eyes and sharp mouthparts hinted at quiet resilience. Its body seemed divided into two sections — a sturdy shoulder and a feather-like covering that draped gracefully over its back. Watching this red beetle exploring and looking around in the soft morning light filled me with pure happiness.
