Dysdercus is an insect known as a cotton pest. This insect has a bright red color with black stripes on its body. It is very easy to find in fields, plantations and around houses. If there are no cotton trees, it is likely that Dysdercus will look for food.

Dysdercus also gnaws on trees such as citrus, nuts, vegetables and several other types of leaves. I took several shots to capture Dysdercus.

Yes, this insect is a form of our childhood memories of living peacefully in a village.

I will never cease to be amazed by the sheer number of insects that exist and that we are not fully aware of. I had never seen this species before, but it looks interesting. Excellent photographs, my friend!

There are many insects around us that we consider ordinary, easy to find, even though in many countries we never see them.
