There is one term in our territory, namely, discarded dear, allowed to expand and calm, the sentence is very simple but there are many stories about it if we peel it. This term is devoted to the figure of this tiny animal when it is in one area with other ladybugs.

This is the name that comes up in the mouths of fruit farmers when they want to start a business to develop management in cultivating their plants, why?

Basically, their presence in a location where some plant seeds are about to be planted is not a problem in the farmer's business, because their presence always repels other ladybugs that are pests or parasites in a plant.

That is, the figure of a beetle whose role is to be able to dispel or its existence becomes a predator of any aphids (plant pests) which always eat the leaves or seeds of developing plants. In our area these beetles have many terms to pronounce, another unique thing is that if they are in different areas then the designation for them is also different. If collected here, of course, it will not run out or have a large collection of names, because in our area there are various tribes who live in different areas. So the names he speaks also vary according to the language they use based on the non-verbal language of the people here.

However, I personally have collected some original names adopted from the non-verbal language mentioned above, and used as a common language, so that other people understand and recognize the figure for this beautiful and tiny beetle.

The list of names that I will mention below, applies to our region, although sometimes the names also exist in scientific language designations or languages ​​commonly used in the insect life scene.

®Koksi beetle

As we all know, this beetle is one of the insect species that is included in the beetle race or what we often hear is included in the order Coleoptera and family Coccinellidae. As already mentioned above, some call it,

1. As a koksi beetle
2. Dome beetles
3. and some are familiar with the bemo beetle, perhaps because of its shape that resembles a minibus car, seen in our city.

Of course, the names listed have their own reasons, as explained above.

Actually the difference in name is koksi beetles have several types, this can be seen in terms of their own color hues and posture.

®Become a friend of the farmers

As already mentioned above, almost all of these koksi beetles are the hope of farmers or can be said to be friends of farmers, this is said to friends of farmers, because they often hunt leaf beetles which always destroy the plants they manage. Of course it is managed by the farmers. They, koksi beetles, do this work or are often done individually or in groups.

This situation occurs naturally and is evident in the field or in every farmer's garden, basically where aphids or other pests are frequently seen with koksi beetles. Their existence in each group of plant pests because these pests are their main food, meaning that they often hunt every type of insect that becomes a pest in every farmer's garden.

Even so, he is said to be a friend of farmers, but there is also one species that is often a destroyer of plants, namely Epilachna admirabilis. However, he always chooses certain plants.

Even so, he is said to be friendly with farmers, but there is also one species that is often a destroyer of plants, namely Epilachna, while Epilachna also has several types. However, they always choose certain plants, meaning that not all plants are damaged. Well, friends of Insects Of The World, you can see what it looks like, so take a look at the image on the link below.

Meanwhile, of the many koksi beetles who are partners or as agents of nature, who work independently without having to be guided by any farmer, they are the species you often see in every post that your friends talk about often or are often uploaded in every post.

Or you can see the picture here, Click here
And according to the information of the koksi beetle plant farmer in my post, he is also one of the species that often hunts every plant pest that has been described above.

However, if you compare it, there are more koksi beetles of their kind to hunt every plant pest, rather than damage it. If you calculate it there is a ratio of 90:10, and if I'm not mistaken there are only a few species.

Before I took a photo of the koksi beetle in my blog post, I saw a lot of koksi beetles in one of the wild plant locations, while species that are classified as plant pests are rarely seen, the result is that each Widuri plant is healthy and beautiful, like other plants that are well cared for by the farmer. Even though this Widuri plant grows by itself without anyone caring for it.

Although, this tulisan has been confirmed, there are also differences of opinion among experts in defining them on the matters mentioned above. This means that every natural development must have a change every year. So that is what it says the importance of science in certain fields.

To be continue...
