In my area, this insect has a unique name, namely "bapak pucung" or if it is translated as "father pucung" for some reason this insect has a name like that and after I asked people around me about the name of this insect they didn't know it either. This insect has the scientific name "Dysdercus cingulatus". They are a species belonging to the true ladybirds. These insects are also classified as a type of pest for farmers, where they often attack plantation crops, especially cotton, rice, cabbage and other plants. We often find these insects in rice fields because they can easily find food.
This insect has a body shape that is around 10 to 17 mm long and has a dominant red color, but this species also has a white collar and there are also black spots that resemble certain patterns. The following are several pictures of Dysdercus cingulatus.
This insect's favorite food is cotton fruit which grows on cotton trees in rice fields. They often attack the fruit by sucking. After the process is complete, the boll will change color until the fruit falls. The females of these insects can lay eggs in the ground that they dig themselves and then in large numbers the eggs will hatch after a few days and then they will grow after going through certain processes.
OK, friends, that's all I can say on this occasion, hopefully it's useful, thank you and see you.
