Birds sing in the morning, indicating that this morning is very bright and beautiful, of course it can be seen from every activity carried out by each animal species, even every habitationer always welcomes a cheerful morning.
Butterflies and their groups keep flying from one flower to another, once in a while their friends interrupt the activities that have been right in their stop, a dragonfly comes to distract me, who has been watching every butterfly character while sucking nectar, of course! The dragonfly is very messy in a habitat, flies quickly and then stops for a moment then flies again to a far distance.
When a butterfly comes and visits a plant, it turns out that my focus is on its movement which tells that next to a banana tree leaf there is a species that belongs to the category very rarely found here, it is one of the secraba genus.
Seeing him on top of a banana tree made me very interested to approach him, because the green color attached to his wings is very attractive, especially when sunlight emits light on each of the tops of his wings, so he is very clearly visible even though the location he is standing can camouflage with it.
The metallic green color will be more clearly visible when other color combinations such as copper red come along and mix in a shiny green color.
Seeing it on a wide banana leaf, reminds me of one of the documentaries of entomologists in our country, and the explanation has been uploaded to one of the media in the form of Youtube which explains its characteristics. In his explanation he said that in Australia it is called the Christmas beetle of course that name and gave it, based on its presence in the days leading up to Christmas, in Australia itself this beetle will be present and fill urban areas in large numbers when entering Christmas.
It's different in our area, their presence is very rare in certain months, but at the end of the year or to be precise in December their presence will be seen a lot and it's true that they will fly in every shophouse location that sells main drinks. It seemed like he was looking for a bright light even though it was coming from a light bulb. So that its presence in every coffee shop can be seen in certain months or at the end of the year before the new year.
However, in March, he was not seen in the location mentioned above. I found it on one of the banana plants that was fruiting, standing comfortably on its two leaves.
The comfort of standing on a banana leaf can be seen below.
In our region, giving different names other countries
If in some other countries, give its name as Christmas Beetle! However, in our area, especially Aceh, it gives a name that matches its body background, namely the glowing green beetle, but it is discussed in the local language, namely Kumbang Ijoe Kielat, sedangkan in other areas I don't know it.
Of course, giving a name it is discussed in a non-verbal form, even though they know the scientific name, but what is famous is the name mentioned above.
If you look at each character of the language of the community in each region, of course, it has its own name in naming an object, especially when it is discussed in their respective regional languages.
Turns out they are not one tail
When he was about to return from that location, he accidentally saw another figure who was silent, in the sun, it seemed that he was enjoying the sunrise. However, the location chosen was not in the leaves but on the edge of an old well that had been covered with soil. This can be seen that some wild weeds are sticking out, and the old well is not as deep as the other wells, because the owner has covered it with soil.
Maybe he nested in the thick leaves that grew and developed in an old shallow well, because it was seen in the area that several other species of insects were seen opening in it.
I approached him like the rest of his friends, like his friend on a banana leaf, then proceeded to take some pictures, in different directions, but the difficulty was that he didn't move at all so the photos were in the same shape, however, still continued shooting from different angles, by rotating the phone camera, because as far as I know, when we touch to get different poses, then he will pretend to be dead, so the condition doesn't look cool because each leg will be hidden inside the body by curling up.
Below, you will see some of the photos that were successfully taken, here are the photos.
I don't know much about them, either scientifically or otherwise, I just don't understand the name, while the names that have been mentioned are adaptations from daily language or are discussed in non-verbal form, if you know it scientifically and also the original character, please enter some comments in the box provided. Hope you like it, and thank you for reading my blog. May we all always be in a pleasant state.
