Gold Ladybugs, Ladybugs, and Koksi Beetles, along summer

Every year the earth is always accompanied by several seasons such as winter, autumn, spring, dry season, rainy season. However, in our country there are only two seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season, this affects the condition of our region which is known as the tropics. During winter, every insect that lives on every plant will hide in its own nest. This is done to save themselves from all circumstances or from other attacks that can injure their bodies and is a common thing for every insect on this earth.

In our territory every insect species that enters the season at the end of the rainy season will emerge by itself, after resting for a few weeks and leaving the nest, meaning at the beginning of the dry season. Each insect species will come out and start a new activity. This species will do something new and continue to carry out daily activities, each male will look for a mate (partner) to multiply his civilization in every hemisphere.

This summer, I saw species that coexist in one life, we here named it the Golden Ladybug and some people have named it the Tortoise Beetle. Kumbang kura-kuraBut I personally prefer to call it the Golden Ladybug, the reason is that it is visible on its transparent body like a gold color, this is one of the beetles that coexists with other ladybugs in locations where wild plants grow. In one location where there is a lot of density of wild plants, there are several species that are grouped into ladybugs that live in one area but in different locations.

The area above, is one evidence that they began to appear in one of the plants called "Kheureupho Plants (the term in Acehnese)". They will always be seen when entering the dry season (summer) in every region in the country of Indonesia itself, especially the Aceh region.

When we talk about gold ladybugs, we remember when we were kids, because we caught them very often and then pinned them on our neck of slotes or elsewhere as an honorable PIN and other necessities. The sparkling gold color attracts the attention of every child and even adults, for one of the reasons explained above.

From my own eyes, I saw several types of Gold Ladybugs at one location within our territory, however, I was unable to photograph them as they were very difficult to approach. Even so I only got a few photos in one type which you have seen in the image above.

Then, apart from looking at the gold ladybugs, there are also some species that are often called plant-destroying ladybugs, this ladybug is very easy to find in our region when compared to the Gold Ladybug. Its existence here almost overwhelms all the plants inhabited by other insect species.

This species is also seen building its civilization, after experiencing certain seasons during the past few weeks. However, their presence has not been seen much in filling every existing location, they are present in each of the two leaves in a small capacity, while the others are not clearly visible.

In one location where the destroying ladybugs were found, there were several koksi beetles carrying out their routine activities. So in this case, the destructive ladybugs and the koksi beetles share a location in one area, but the presence of the koksi beetle makes other ladybugs reluctant to deal with it. It is seen that each of the other ladybugs avoids the presence of the koksi beetle that is in one plant.

So that it is clear that the difference in place is that if the koksi beetle is on the Widuri plant, the destructive ladybugs are in the leaves of weeds that grow next to the plant itself.

Activities that originate from each different species are basically welcoming the ongoing dry season and of course this activity is carried out in developing the population as has been described above.

If we broadly examine the knowledge we have, we can conclude that each dry season each species will start its new life in a certain location and in the rainy season each species will rest in its respective nests waiting for the coming season. We can see this situation in our region which has two specific seasons in tropical countries like Indonesia, especially our region Aceh.
