Hope everyone is well.
On the night of April 25, while walking with a torch along the road next to my house, I suddenly saw this insect. At first glance, I couldn't recognize it, but after looking closely, I realized that it was actually a wild cockroach. It is much different and more beautiful than the cockroaches we usually see at home.
Its transparent wings and delicate body designs are truly wonderful. There is a kind of beauty hidden in every creation of nature, which we can feel if we pay a little attention. Through research, I found out that its scientific name is Balta vilis. It is usually seen in the bushes or gardens of the South Asian region.
I shared some close-up pictures of it with you, taken on my mobile phone. I hope you like it.
