| Sphex sericeus | 13 July 2025 | Central Aceh Regency,Bireun, Indonesia |

On this wonderful occasion, I'd like to share with you all some pictures I found while I was in the forest, and this is one of the insects.
Here, we can see this insect has a long shape and, of course, insects are venomous if stung by it. Here, I took a picture of the insect sucking nectar on a flower. This flower is one of the flowers I found while I was in the forest.
It was very difficult for me to get a picture of it, and I could only take pictures from almost the same position because whenever I tried to approach this small insect, it would always fly away and move around.
I can share all of this with you in this beloved community. I hope those who see it will enjoy these insect pictures.
