GEUMOTO #1

Carpenter Bee (Lebah Kayu)

Surely you know one of these animals, often even familiar with the figure of this type of beetle, right? ...
Yes! Their names are wood bees or Carpenter bees, they are very famous in the beetle world, even they are also greatly feared or shunned by humans, this is due to the influence of their poisonous venom and attacks when they are disturbed and attack.

These wood bees are referred to as this because they very often make nests in branches or wood where they deem their breeding sites safe from predatory attacks from either one another or another.

However, this animal is very often given the nickname for him as geumoto, the name geumoto is a term of our local wisdom which, if interpreted generally, is very strong and very fast in flying or it can be said to be a very aggressive animal

In this post I am not talking about things or deep characteristics about them but what I see in this animal are things that are very amazing or there is something that is called "Amazing Nature".....

Then, what is the "Amazing Nature" in this animal?

From my point of view listed or there are some amazing points in this animal, among others ...

1. Has the power to fly

Of course every animal with wings, they can travel by air without making or using legs, meaning that nearly 99% of winged animals can fly or travel by air. However, each of these animals has different strengths in traveling by air or over the air.

Sometimes a butterfly or other species that is classified as a flying insect, can travel a long way from the initial location to the next location but they will stop for a moment on the way.

This is done to rest or collect flight energy that has been used up when traveling long distances. When they are considered full of energy collected, they will immediately rush and fly back to their intended location.

In contrast to this one animal, it will continue to flap its wings when they travel either activities or regular routines or move their initial location to a safe location.

Its great wings will continue to rotate like a helicopter propeller doing its daily activities.
Its strong wings with tremendous power will continue to focus on its rotation even when it is eating or making a nest, even if it stops for a moment and the time is only a little.

Each of them certainly has their own reasons why this can happen, or it can be said that they have their own reasons for continuously flapping their wings.

Their wings will stop spinning when they stop their activities at night when they rest for a short time.
So that scientists or insect researchers will find it very difficult to be able to clearly see the development of its wings or the working mechanism of its wings when it is doing routine activities, except using a sophisticated camera or something else.

Those wings will be clearly visible when they are dead, just like in the photo you see in this post. This wood bee is actually dead so it will be very easy to photograph it up close and can hold it at will. However, if he is still alive, it will be difficult to do activities like in the picture.

So it can be concluded that it is very difficult to get it or research it in depth.

The power of flying on a journey through the air is truly extraordinary, if traced there will be an answer, so it can be said that it can cover a distance of 1 kilometer in 1 hour, if its body is bigger then it will cover a distance per 1 kilometer less than 1 hour

Then in the person of this animal there is something amazing or Amazing Nature if you look at it in terms of their survival, so in this case I will explain it in the next episode, of course in the same blog and the same title.
