You can't hide there

This scarab beetle decided to play hide and seek with me that morning. I am not really sure what wrong with him, but maybe he thought that his body is so small that he can hide anywhere he like and will not be spotted.

Well, he was wrong, because I can see him so easily, and his pose on the hide and seek mode was a little bit funny. Trying to hide his big body under the small new shoot of the plant.

He maybe didn't even bother to check on the color contrast that his body has with the surrounding. The black color body and a little bit of yellowish marking could not blend his body well with the green leaves of the plant.

But i might be wrong this time, because he just dip his head deep into the new shoot, maybe he just used the hide and seek as the camoiflage so that he can safely eat the new shoot of the plant. he just doesn't care he could be easily spotted, as long as he can eat nicely.

That little scarab really thought he had the perfect hiding spot, but he didn’t count on your sharp eyes.😀

What a beautiful contrast between the scarab beetle and the leaves, hiding is plainly impossible here lol

That beetle didn’t blend in at all, but it looked more focused on eating the new plant shoot than hiding.
