Hair Forktail or dragonfly ciwet, is a species of dragonfly that belongs to the Odonata group. In general, what is in this picture is female.
In general, they are often divided into two parts, namely, dragonfly or sibar-sibar and dragonflies ciwet, but they are still in the Odonata group.
Have you ever heard the phrase Odonata? In scientific insight it is said that the sentence comes from the word odonto which means tooth. Here the meaning is that teeth are not like our teeth (humans) but a strong jaw ornament. The meaning refers to the strong tooth structure in the mandible of the dragonfly itself. By having a strong jaw, it can be said that a dragonfly is either a dragonfly or a ciwet, is a flying insect species that is strong in ambush, I myself once tried to catch a dragonfly and then pointed my hand at the dragonfly jaw, so that the bite felt felt with a slight tear of the skin.
Here it can be ascertained that the strength of the jaw is very strong for a dragonfly, thus it is only natural that every insect it hunts has a fatal impact on the mechanism of mutilation, because of the influence of jaw power and small sharp teeth.
Although the explanation above explains how strong the jaws are, I don't know what it's like with this one ciwet. However, if you refer to the explanation above, it is ensured that it also has the character of a mouth or jaw, although the capacities are different, meaning that the size of the ciwet's jaw is smaller than that of ordinary dragonflies in general.
World-renowned scientists, namely Fabricius,
Lieftinck,
and Igor Sikorsky
are a well-known group of scientists who study more about dragonflies. In some of his findings, he often distinguishes between dragonflies and ciwet even though they are still in the same Odonata. Even though they have some of the same tools, the capacities or sizes look different, even though later the functions of the body parts are used the same.
Although they have some differences in the morphology of each species, their characters are almost the same, both in hunting, choosing a nest location and several other things that fall into the behavioral category.
But before going into the realm that will be mentioned, I want to tell you about one of their circumstances, why? Because so far, the location here, especially our area, is rarely visited by ciwet, which is seen so far as being controlled by some common dragonflies in general and this area is the distribution area.
It's not that they didn't exist at first, but the location of the ciwet's distribution is located west of this location, so it's surprising why ciwet suddenly presents itself in the territory of ordinary dragonflies.
Did their original territorial area have a problem?
It turns out that this assumption is true, it turns out that the location on the west side does not have puddles or small swamps formed by nature itself. In the last few weeks, the swamps have disappeared, meaning that they have been in ponds due to the accumulation of land that will be used as football fields for the local community. Although the swamp is small, it is suitable for a sports location, and has now been changed by the government by utilizing some vacant land located on the outskirts of the city.
Personally, I do not agree with the destruction of the land in the form of small swamps. Because the existence of swamps and other wetlands has advantages both for humans and some other creatures. Why? Because in every swamp and other wetland is an important location that can store carbon, thus providing clean water and food, for every creature, then at the same time protecting the flood, in case of rain or otherwise. Then in the wetlands or swamps themselves also offer habitat for one of the species that exist in the world. One is to protect every special flying insect against dragonflies. In a meeting that was held before covid19 this happened according to the findings. When wetlands or swamps are intentionally removed, these ecosystems disappear three times faster than forests. So it is very important that natural locations are around our area.
The attitude that has been seen above is the result of a new finding that has only been seen in the last few years. Even since some natural locations that have been changed by humans, become other locations, it looks very different from today's situation. Thus coexistence with other creatures is very important and it is humans who will reap the benefits.
Like today, being seen ciwet present in other locations is something that we must pay attention to because the location they choose is a location that is still natural and healthy for humans to accept. So it's no wonder why there have been frequent floods when it rains, although not heavily and more importantly when swamps or other wetlands disappear suddenly, the dragonfly population is worried that it will become extinct.
Whereas naturally, the presence of dragonflies, either ordinary or ciwet dragonflies in our territory, is a sign that the area is still beautiful. Because each of the dragonflies will choose where the locations have not been contaminated by pollution that comes from the community itself.
Thus, I agree with world experts that the dragonfly is dubbed as a natural bio-indicator, which is very accurate in predicting a wetland and so on.
The presence of the ciwet in this new location indicates that they are not happy as a form of protest against humans with the term don't lose our house
because our house is only here, not your location.
If every area, both you and us, always disturbs nature, always puts forward evil desires, then gradually natural disasters will continue to occur every time, this has also been felt by everyone in this period of time. How many victims have died as a result of natural disasters, and that nature has changed as a result of the efforts of human hands themselves.
So through this short article, let's continue to keep this nature beautiful, away from destructive things, etc., so that nature's development remains beautiful, and the habitat of dragonflies, as well as other habitat dwellers are always present, in your area and your territory, generally on this planet earth.
