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

On this sunny day, I went back around the small forest to hunt for small animal species, and coincidentally, in the small forest there was an area where a lot of wild plants and other short trees grew, and when I arrived there, I immediately walked and went around the small forest and suddenly I found it in the bushes of wild plants, and found this Naupactus beetle species that was crawling on one of the wild leaves and at that time I immediately approached it to see this beetle species up close.

And its shape is quite large compared to other small insect species and has a slightly golden yellow color that looks so attractive and beautiful, and its head is a bit of a snout that looks so unique and its small eyes look very beautiful, and you can see below some portraits of this beetle species and I hope you like some portraits of this beetle species.

Naupactus is a genus of beetles in the weevil family Curculionidae, the true weevils. They are known commonly as whitefringed beetles.....Wikipedia

Then I found another species of grasshopper Phlaeoba antennata. And at that time I saw this species of grasshopper crawling on one of the dry logs, and at that time I immediately approached it and its rather small shape with a slightly brownish green color that looked so interesting and unique, and without waiting long I immediately took several shots of the picture that looked very beautiful and elegant, and you can see below some portraits of this grasshopper species.

Phlaeoba antennata is a species of short-horned grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Indomalaya.....Wikipedia

Then I found another Mopsus mormon spider, and I saw it crawling in one of the wild grasses and at that time I immediately took some shots of this spider species, and unfortunately I couldn't take too many pictures because this spider jumped in another direction and disappeared, and you can see below some portraits of this spider species that I managed to take this time and I hope you like it.

Mopsus mormon is a species of spider belonging to the family Salticidae. This species is also part of the genus Mopsus and the order Araneae.....Wikipedia
