Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Everyone

This is @rumanaafroz, from Bangladesh.

Dear friends,

How are you all,
I hope you are all doing well. I am also doing well, Alhamdulillah.

Today I am going to share a photograph of a beetle with you.

When I found this beetle, it was wandering around on the ground as if it was lost in the direction. I was overwhelmed with joy when I found it, quickly brought my phone from the house and started running after it to take its photograph. While standing still somewhere, I took several photographs that I liked. I was quite afraid to take photographs from close up because if it flew and sat on me, I would be very scared. Because even though I photograph such small insects, I am very afraid to go too close to them. But still, despite this fear, I took its photograph.

It has two stingers like a lion on the back and a few legs. There were stingers on the legs. The eyes are black and clear. Its skin is hard and there are stripes on this insect. Through this photography, I capture all kinds of special beauties. I like to see them and I feel very comfortable sharing them with my friends by photographing them. These insects are cooked and roasted by the people of the hilly regions of our country. They are a daily part of their food list. But in our area, this insect is only useful for annoying people and damages the rice fields.

This insect is probably a Jerusalem cricket (of the genera Stenopelmatus or Amopelmatus).

Despite their name, they are not true crickets, nor are they native to Jerusalem; they are large, flightless insects native to North and Central America.

They are nocturnal, ground-dwelling insects that live in soil and litter, and feed primarily on roots, tubers, and other small insects.

They are harmless to humans, but if handled roughly, they can inflict a painful bite with their powerful jaws.
