It was just an other day at our Pratham office , I went out for a walk in between . I noticed some fruits in a few trees. I could just identify one of the trees. Here are the images of the two trees whose fruit I choose to look into.
What I was planning to do was to dissect the fruits and look in the pollen’s closely, but I found interest in some other thing that popped out. I found two variety of insects that where preying in these fruits. I have captured them.
The first variety of the insect that I found. I got to observe it when it was still alive. It had this box shaped head with two sharp antennas. I could even see the inner section of the insects body. It was amazing.
The second Insect I observed. It had a long tail.
Insect 2
Insect 2
Insect 2 The best part was that I was not aware of any of its names, but observing small insects closely is really interesting. The way it was moving while observe really brought a wow moment.
