The destroyer's red locust

Hello all!!!


Grasshopper is one type of insect classified in the arthropod phylum, which has a berkitin exoskeleton, it has body parts such as to, thorax, legs and other limbs that are generally owned by this type of insect.

However! Have you ever seen grasshopper species that are red? Maybe some of you have seen it and some people have never met this species.

Same with me personally, this time I met with this unique colored grasshopper, in general every grasshopper has a green body and very rarely found in red.

In the territory of Indonesia itself to find this one is very difficult and if there are very few,

However, if there is a red grasshopper, you must be vigilant and plant farmers must always be vigilant in handling it, because based on experience in one region of Indonesia, precisely in the West Nusa Tenggara region in 2012, residents' rice crops have been attacked by red grasshoppers with a large capacity or in large population.

That year it was precisely at the end of the long dry season that the crops in the area were dry, a pause a few weeks later it rained and the whole community was excited because they could plant crops like the previous season. Then within one month people planted rice as before, fertile rice plants. However, when entering the rainy season a very unfortunate thing happened, because rice plants that grow healthy were attacked by red locusts of unknown origin.

When the population of rice plants is attacked by red grasshoppers, all rice plants are destroyed and the people of the area fail to harvest, this is because of the influence of the presence of red grasshoppers, they are present in a large population and are able to devour all rice stalks until they are left without grain remaining in the stems.

So thus you yourself can draw the conclusion that if this red grasshopper is present in a large population then you must always be vigilant of your plants by anticipating as quickly as possible.

In general it will come initially with only a few tails, however, when the envoy knows the proper location to be attacked, then within a few days the population will come with a large amount in attacking and eating your crops grain.

Thus a brief description of one of these insect species which is the enemy of the farmers. Thank you
