Hi friends, wherever you are, how are you and I hope you are all healthy, so tonight I want to show you some pictures, namely Lycidae that I found a few days ago.
Lycidae is an insect belonging to the coleoptera beetle or what people usually call it by the name of a net-bodied beetle. This beetle has a long body shape with variations in body shape that is similar to a net, this insect has a different shape size in males and females, male insects have a slightly larger body shape compared to females. These insects are very easy to find especially in the interior of the forest, these insects also often perch on flower nectar like sunflowers. These insects also often relax behind the green leaves, which is most likely a way of tricking their predators.
These insects are also classified as pests of certain types of plants but not all of them, not only that these insects can also prey on other small insects. Adult insects eat less plants and tend to eat only other insects while young insects are more likely to eat plants and nectar on flowers.
This insect has characteristics such as having a pair of wings and a pair of antennae that are similar to saw blades. Here are some pictures of these insects and I hope you recognize them.
The characteristics of these insects are:
- has a long body shape of about 1.2 cm
- has a pair of wings that look like holes in a net
- has 6 legs, three on the left and three on the right
- has a pair of antennae that are about half the length of the body
- has a head shape like a triangle
- have body colors including red and black
This insect has a very slow movement but has a fairly fast flight speed. Some of these types of insects we can find in our residential environment as well as in flower gardens and for this insect species there are still thousands of other species.
This insect has a very short lifespan compared to other insect species because this insect is the main food ingredient for chicken and bird breeders. All right, friends, this is all I can say in this post, hopefully it will be useful for all of you and thank you and see you next time.
