In period from March to May, this bugs can be seen in many places in nature.
Since that Lidija is expert for photographing of small objects, she also has a responsibility to search for information about all insects and flowers she capture on camera. This time she have a little harder task to do. but she managed to find data about this armored bugs, with quite bulky proportions.
Despite the fact that it looks so rough, has a very gentle and romantic name. I say romantic name, because in Serbian this bug is named Bug of May. May is somehow remind as on love, it is a spring month. Spring is time to love for me.
Here is what we find out about this bugs:
