everyone, today I will share a portrait of a beautiful insect that I observed some time ago, this insect has a beautiful body posture and amazing body colors, I found this insect hunting for flower nectar in wild plants, have you familiar with this insect?

This is a beautiful insect Delta campaniforme !!

Delta campaniforme is a species of insect in the wild and is included in the Miridae group, and is included in the Hemiptera order. Insects in this genus are known as flower nectar hunters and nest builders in small twigs, but there are some in this order that act as predators in the wild. , the Delta campaniforme insect has a needle-shaped mouth which is used to pierce and suck the soft fluid in each flower petal, this insect has a relatively bright body color so they are easy to recognize in the wild.

Insects in the Delta genus generally have small bodies and varying lengths ranging from 2 to 3 cm. The main characteristic that differentiates Delta campaniforme from other insect species is the slightly flattened body shape and transparent wings with clearly visible vein patterns. , as is generally known, insects belonging to the delta genus have bright colors, because of this, insects from the delta genus find it a little difficult to camouflage because their body color does not blend with the environment.
