Dear Hiveans!
Welcome to meet again on our beloved blog, namely on hive.blog, and still in this OCD community that we love.
While waiting for something valuable in accordance with their respective activities, on this occasion it would be better if we study Biology which we may have left for a long time, through this simple blog we will discuss one type of insect that we often encounter in every wild plant, which grow opposite to our respective territories.
I personally really like the shape and color of the unique body, even though sometimes it is the cause of the farmers' crop failure.

1. Her name is True Ladybug or Kepik Sejati
Like the writings of writers who have become professionals in intellectual circles or in the intellectual community, before detailing everything about them, the main thing to introduce is their own personal side in the sense of describing them according to their characteristics.
This true ladybug is one of the many insects that have certain characteristics both physically and in terms of characteristics, it also almost matches other insect species that have postures such as:
- It has a head
- Thorax
- Two pairs of wings
- 6 pairs of legs
- and has two khas antennae.
All the body parts mentioned above, are also in the possession of every other insect species which is also still in the same Ordo.

This true ladybug, is a lot of conversation by every expert or observation team who discuss them at length about everything related to it. So he was grouped into Hemiptera which comes from leaf insects and which is also known as ladybugs, so he is nicknamed the True Ladybug. In one acknowledged information the accuracy of the data is that the Hemiptera group itself consists of 80,000 species of insects (Resources : the observation team explained).
In my opinion, Hemiptera is exemplified as an attack species such as:
- Flea leaf
- Clamp
- Walang stinks
- Bedbug
- and tens of thousands of other species that live in fruit trees and other plants.
However, there is one species whose body is very cute or small, namely the Ladybug with black spots, not included in the Hemiptera group but in the Coleoptera breed.

2. Its very famous characteristics
Every object in this world is certainly known to have certain characteristics, both from its physical origin and the characteristics that are commonly owned or often found in every body. Likewise with this True Ladybug, it also has characteristics that are sometimes equated with the existing species or equivalent, or have differences with other people, so that people will know their characteristics, it is easier to recognize them by certain comparisons.
This True Ladybug is known for several special characteristics such as:
- Has a distinctive needle-like mouth
- Never experienced a complete metamorphosis like a butterfly
- Always have to mate with a female so that it can be fertilized
- Omnivora.
The True Ladybug does not have a mouth like other animals that chew the food from its jaws, because it has an abnormal mouth. Then how do they eat? In this case the True Ladybug uses this oral structure to puncture the tissue from its food and then sucks the liquid in it, so that the puncture results that impact the leaves into small holes. So this is what makes the leaves die because the liquid in the leaves has run out and then they become dry.

Why did entomologists put him in the Omnivore class? Because in essence Hemiptera itself is omnivorous, which means it consumes almost all types of food, from:
- Plant fluids
- Seeds
- Other insects
- To small animals such as fish.
He looks small and very patient, but when we observe his character in his daily life, he is an insect that is greatly feared by other insect species that are small from him. However, it is also often preyed on by red ladybugs by luring it in the form of a deadly substance trap that is on the ladybug's feet.

However, there are abnormalities in finding a mate when they are about to mate, when a true pair of ladybugs mates with their partner, another male will mate in one activity but not with the female but with the male who fertilizes the female.
This behavior is seen frequently in the life of the True Ladybug and is not a taboo phenomenon but common among them. Then how did this happen?
The explanation is very long and inadequate in one post, therefore the explanation will be put forward. Thank you very much.
