Macro Close-up of a Dung Beetle Among Forest Mosses | Ecological Insect Photography

Description

The image focuses on a macro close-up of a black dung beetle nestled in a moss clump on the forest floor, surrounded by bright green moss and brown pine needles. The beetle’s carapace glistens with a glossy black sheen, and its antennae and hairy limbs are clearly distinguishable, as if quietly perceiving the surrounding ecosystem. In the background, layered green moss weaves a soft carpet dotted with scattered dry needles and twigs, creating a moist, fresh microhabitat atmosphere in the forest. The macro perspective amplifies the delicate textures of the insect and plants; the collision of deep black and bright green hues makes the small creature’s survival moment in a natural nook even more vivid, fully showcasing the microbeauty of forest ecology.
