While tracking the small flowers in the garden, I noticed a reddish small Beetle looking like a Red Pumpkin Beetle, which is not common in our garden. It is a pest which thrives on millets. This Beetle avoids plants and crops where ants thrive.
My interest was in its smallness. The description of its size is 5 to 8 mm.
A garden has many such surprises!
I did not have a macro lens with me. So its body features are not fully visible.
The biology of the environment is fascinating!
The sense of curiosity grown within me !
