ID: Jewel beetle
Came across this magnificent and massive beetle taking refugee under the stem of a plant. While attempting to frame it, through the distractions, it suddenly decided to get off its hind legs and extend its hind side. Surprised with this move, i took a small break and observed it, trying to understand the reason fro this awkward movement, only to realize it was getting in this position to get the load off(to dispose some shit). Unfortunately as I moved back to observe this, I missed out on the opportunity to frame that moment.
