At a glance see the picture above we are stunned by the appearance of a very attractive grasshopper on the leaves, but did you know that grasshopper is one of the pests that like to eat these leaves. Indeed, if we pay attention we can not distinguish between the leaves eaten by caterpillars or grasshoppers.

Sekilas melihat gambar diatas kita tertegun dengan penampakan belalang yang sangat menawan di atas dedauan, namun tahukah anda jika belalang merupakan salah satu hama yang suka memakan dedaunan tersebut. Memang jika diperhatikan kita tak dapat membedakan antara daun dimakan ulat atau belalang.

A literacy that I read says, wooden grasshopper or familiar with the Latin name Valanga nigricornis is one of the leaf pests. The grasshopper eats the entire leaf, only the stem and leaf veins are not eaten by it.

Sebuah literasi yang saya baca menyebutkan, Belalang kayu atau familiar dengan nama latin Valanga nigricornis merupakan salah satu hama daun. Belalang tersebut memakan seluruh daun, hanya batang dan urat daun yang tidak dimakan olehnya.

The characteristics of Valanga nigricornis include a short antenna, the auditory organ located in the abdominal segment and a short egg-laying device. The hearing instrument in the grasshopper is called a tympanum. Most grasshoppers Valanga nigricornis are gray or brown in color and some have a brilliant color on their back wings.

Ciri-ciri Valanga nigricornis antara lain memiliki antena pendek, organ pendengarannya terletak pada ruas abdomen serta alat peletak telurnya berukuran pendek. Alat pendengaran pada belalang disebut tympanum. Kebanyakan belalang Valanga nigricornis warnanya kelabu atau kecoklatan dan beberapa mempunyai warna cemerlang pada sayap belakangnya.

To find out the leaves that are eaten by grasshoppers, the leaves appear to be pitted, leaf bones and veins are not eaten. Symptoms are sometimes difficult to distinguish from symptoms of leaf potholes damaged by leaf caterpillars. The hole due to locust attack is rough irregularly edged, while due to finer caterpillar attack.

Untuk mengetahui daun yang dimakan oleh belalang ini, tampak daun menjadi berlubang-lubang, tulang daun dan urat-urat daun tidak dimakan. Gejalanya kadang-kadang sulit dibedakan dengan gejala lubang-lubang kerusakan daun oleh serangan ulat daun. Lubang akibat serangan belalang tepinya bergerigi kasar tidak beraturan, sedangkan akibat serangan ulat lebih halus.

Well, if you see grasshoppers in the leaves with holes, you can try to pay attention to it a little longer, and you will know the truth, that the hollow leaves are due to the act of the grasshopper named in Latin Valanga nigricornis

Nah, jika anda melihat belalang berada di dedaunan yang berlubang, anda bisa mencoba memperhatikannya sedikit lebih lama, dan anda akan tahu kebenarannya, bahwa daun-daun berlubang tersebut dikarenakan ulah si belalang yang bernama latin Valanga nigricornis
