He, has many terms and names

Hello Guys ... How are you today?


(Centadu Aceh / Praying Mantis of Aceh)

Here we call it Mantis Aceh who prays or Centadu Aceh, a name that has been ingrained in the hearts of the Acehnese for generations, since the establishment of the Aceh kingdom in Samudera Pasai Aceh. This term caught my attention, with the publication of a small question why in the Aceh area is given the same name and according to the name of the region?This name has been on the lips of the Acehnese in general and is always called for every Centadu, and it is not unmitigated that this has been going on for a long time, since our great-grandmothers were small and according to historical records, they have also discussed it. This is known from the many folk tales that discuss him as the main character in a story. If it is estimated that the year of birth this name has existed since our country Aceh was still in the state of the Samudera Pasai Kingdom, or the name had been given since 1267 AD.

If we look at every finding that has been obtained by experts, it turns out that this insect species has existed for hundreds of years or it can be predicted that its existence here has reached hundreds of years or even more, but I dare not say it. Has it existed since the era of the dinosaur civilization. To find out the answer, you have to start a long research to trace the traces of history in that era. But I think they have been around for a long time, this is well known, because every continent or country has discovered it. So the experts or experts who gave the name named it the name of the continent or the name of the country when it was discovered. This word is supported by several names that are synonymous with it. So, please have a look at the table below :

Then there is also a regional name that is the same as the name of the particular insect itself (the name of another insect is not Centadu) in the form of a sub-district or small area in the Aceh area itself, but it is not mentioned here because it is too difficult to pronounce (in non-verbal language).

Then Malay people often say something like Mentadak this term is adoption from a description of scientists in making research, insect experts often say Mantodeo. While the term Mantedoa is assumed to be in a Ordo, then people also mention the same sentence, as explained earlier.

When you read the explanation above, it does not mean this is a scientific study, but here explains the difference in names that have been spoken by people around the world. So in my opinion, to unite one assumption in mention, it is better to be called the assumption of insect experts, making uniformity in mentioning it, it will be easier to recognize it in a study and others.

In a biology textbook as a 9th grade teacher's handbook or at the high school level, describe these insects with certain linguistic or description names, as you'll see below.

1 General mention in the world Praying Mantis or Centadu
2 Ordo Mantodeo
3 Class Insecta
4 Kingdom Animalia
5 Sinonim Mantearia or Mantoptera
6 Superordo Dictyoptera

The information above also has some minor differences of opinion between fellow experts, but the purpose is the same, in describing it, the point is that when we explore it further, there will be an adequate answer, as described in the previous meeting.

Not only that, it turns out that this insect has its own uniqueness in its life, both the mention of its name or its character in daily life and this has also been widely discussed in the previous meeting.

Entomologists also don't mind the difference in pronunciation of names, arguing that each country has its own language and terms that have been assigned to it. Although sometimes his name is mentioned in non-verbal language. As long as the language pointer is called the Praying Mantis or Centadu or other famous names, which can be recognized and understood by ordinary people.
