Introduction

Living beings naturally have benefits in certain respects, as bad as anything is certainly having a positive session. What to think about when seeing insects? certainly commonly thought of on plant destroyers.

But when the question is changed. What advantages can be exploited by the presence of insects? certainly, the recipient's brain of the question is focused only on the positive things alone, then the positive energy of the brain will evaporate.

Common red soldier beetle.

I found it in the bushes in Banda Aceh, he's a bit friendlier making it easier to shoot from close range with a smartphone additional macro lens. I'm sure this beetle is correctly identified as Rhagonycha fulva.

The common red soldier beetle (Rhagonycha fulva), also misleadingly known as the bloodsucker beetle, and popularly known in England as the Hogweed Bonking Beetle is a species of soldier beetle (Cantharidae).¹ I don't know the name of this species commonly called by our community in Aceh.

General characteristics, the body is dominated by reddish orange, has a narrow body about 1/2 inches long, has a long black antenna, and has a low flying ability.

Benefits

Common red soldier beetle can be profitable in the plantation, prey upon aphids, caterpillars, grasshopper eggs and beetle larvae, among other insects around the garde.²

In addition to being useful as an exterminator, this beetle can provide clues to changes in natural phenomena, an excellent species to predict a thunderstorm, for when all the animals are retreating to the backside of leaves a thunderstorm is advancing. Do not hurry though: they take shelter many hours before the thunderstorm arrives! ³

Conclusion

Let's change the perspective of putting positive things forward. Hatred will certainly damage the mental and will accelerate the destruction of the world.
