Do you still remember a term called Hemiptera? This term is often heard when I was in school in biology. Hemiptera itself is one of the ordo of insects, ordinary people themselves know as a ladybug. In biology lessons, it is said that Hemiptera consists of 80,000 species, which have been found and they are spread all over the world. Then the species of insects as Tonggeret, Aphids, Anggang-anggang, Walang Sangit, Kameng Rider and similar species.
The group of species, if traced, they have special characteristics such as needle-shaped mouths and do not experience a perfect metamorphosis like butterflies and insects that match butterflies.
Some experts believe that small insect species such as kepik or lady bugs are not classified into the hemiptera because they are placed in the Coleoptera order.
Return to the initial explanation as explained above. Insect experts also say that Hemiptera itself has certain characteristics such as having its own characteristics, namely the structure of the mouth like a fine needle. In general, the needle functions as a tool to penetrate the food network sourced from fruits or the like. Usually this species does not have a normal mouth like a butterfly type insect.
Hemiptera itself is identical to the insects that eat using fine needles that always suck the liquid that comes from mud grains or other liquids.
Kepik or Ladybugs are classified into coleoptera because they do not have needles like animals which are grouped into hemiptera which are characteristic of not having a normal mouth. While the ladybug itself has a mouth and thresher that functions as a chewing tool that can destroy the leaves of his plants
His presence in the farmer's garden or on wild plants is always a crop destroyer because they will eat the leaves that grow quickly, if he is in the farmers' plants in a large capacity he can eat every leaf that grows with his bite, so farmers will fail to harvest.
Although the shape is beautiful in the photo, but its presence is very disliked by every crop cultivation.
Thus the explanation of insects which are categorized into species of coleoptera insects. Hope it is useful for all of us. Thank you.
