Monitoring UDP data on wireshark shows ARP packet

Hello Everyone ,

I am trying to send UDP packet to my server 192.168.1.5 with port number 50001. I have implemented UDP client on PC and when i send data using sendto API , at the same time i monitor data on wireshark wireshark shows it as an ARP packet.

18967 5440.858646 PcsCompu_ef:b4:89 Broadcast ARP 42 Who has 192.168.1.5? Tell 192.168.1.70

192.168.1.70 is my machine ip where UDP client is running.

I am not sure how UDP packet is getting converted into ARP packet ?

Any inputs are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
