Red Soldier Beetle
Red Soldier Beetle
Sometimes some people mistakenly look at beetles, they think beetles are detrimental to humans. Even though beetles have a role as pollinators in plants and pest controllers. Beetles are a group of insects that make up the "hollow-winged" ordo Coleoptera. Because almost all types of beetles have two pairs of wings. Beetles have a high diversity that makes them very interesting. I am one of those who really like the red soldier beetle because it has a beautiful color. Sometimes the body color will look bright, this is due to the influence of the natural conditions where this beetle inhabits.

Red soldier beetles are a type of insect that is often in the open with lots of sunlight. In almost all parts of the world we can find red soldier beetles. They are generally found in subtropical or tropical areas and can often be seen in sandy areas and on clear paths. It is very easy to identify the red soldier beetle because this beetle has a distinctive body shape. The two big round protruding eyes are the main characteristic with this insect. Both eyes are able to provide a very sharp sense of vision and are assisted by two long antennae as sensors to be able to easily catch prey and as a standby tool in the face of incoming enemies.
I know this insect is an aggressive beast. They are known as fast runners and excellent flyers who can easily catch prey. Red soldier beetles are predatory animals that like to prey on smaller insects. After getting the prey, it will usually be brought into the hole where this beetle lives. So there are many differences regarding the lifestyle of the tiger beetle with the ordinary beetle. Red soldier beetle has its own life and lives separately from the common beetle.
