Cyclophorus perdix perdix, Tenggek, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia

Cyclophorus perdix perdix

They are Cyclophorus perdix perdix, one of land snail members. I found them around the road near the local people plantation in my village. Actually, Sumedang isn't located in karst area, so it's hard to find any land snails here, except Acathina fulica and this snail (Cyclophorus perdix perdix) found easily. The local people called it Tenggek.
They were found dead and i collected their shells. Actually, Cyclophorus perdix perdix has an operculum attached to their foot, but unfortunately, i didn't find it. Maybe, when they die, their bodies decay and the operculum separates.

Cyclophorus perdix perdix, salah satu anggota keong darat. Saya menemukan mereka di sekitar jalan  dekat perkebunan warga di desa saya. Sebenarnya, Sumedang bukan wilayah kars, jadi sulit untuk menemukan keong darat, kecuali Acathina fulica dan keong ini (Cyclophorus perdix perdix). Orang-orang menyebut keong ini Tenggek
Mereka ditemukan dalam keaadan mati dan saya mengkoleksi cangkangnya. Sebenarnya, Cyclophorus perdix perdix mempunyai operkulum yang menempel di kakinya, tapi sayangnya saya tidak menemukannya. Mungkin ketika tubuh mereka membusuk, operkulumnya terpisah.

Thrips (Gynaikothrips uzeli), Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina) Pest, Hama Beringin

This is thrips, one of Weeping Fig ( Ficus Benjamina )   pest. It causes damage to the leaves. The leaves roll and curl, the outer part of the leaf (lower epidermis) shows black and yellow spots. Most of these insects live with their translucent white larvae and eggs on the inside of the leaves. But, some are laying eggs on the outside of the leaves (as in the picture). Ini adalah thrips, salah satu hama pada beringin ( Ficus Benjamina ) . Hama ini menyebabkan kerusakan pada daun. Daun menggulung dan keriting, bagian luar daun (epidermis bawah) terlihat bercak-bercak hitam dan menguning. Kebanyakan serangga ini tinggal bersama larva dan telurnya yang berwarna putih transulen pada bagian dalam daun. Tapi, ada pula yang bertelur pada bagian luar daun (seperti pada gambar).  The causing the leaves to curl inward or fold into the pocket are th e adults feed on the upper surface of young expanding leaves (Mannion et al, 2006). It will create a safe environment for adults t

Golden Tortoise Beetle, Kepik Emas, Bolokotono (Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis), in Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia

Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis This is  Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis , commonly known as Golden Tortoise Beetle.  It's similar in Bahasa, mostly Indonesia people called it as Kepik emas or Kumbang Kura-kura Emas (kepik/kumbang=beetle; Kura-kura; tortoise; emas=golden). Maybe because of they're golden and shine colour, just like a golden and also the dorsal (upper side) form looks like tortoise shell (carapace). But, the local name (Sumedang; Sundanese) is totally different, that is Bolokotono. Even me as Sundanese, I don't know, why it's called Bolokotono? If you search Bolokoto in your search engine, it refers to a song, the title is Bolokotono, but the song isn't about the beetle, it is about someone.  Ini adalah  Aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis , secara umum dikenal sebagai Golden Tortoise Bettle. Namanya sama dalam Bahasa, kebanyakan orang-orang menyebutnya sebagai Kepik emas atau  Kumbang Kura-kura Emas. Mungkin karena warnanya emas dan bersinar, seperti hal

Water Clover, Semanggi, Semanggen (Marsilea minuta L.)

This is Water Clover ( Marsilea minuta L.). The local people (Sumedang, West Java; Sundanese) called it "Samanggen", but mostly Indonesian called it "Semanggi". At a glance, it looks like "Creeping Woodsorrel" ( Oxalis corniculata ), even their local names are also the same i.e semanggi. But, both are totally different. Water Clover ( Marsilea minuta L.) is an aquatic fern (Pteridophyta). Conversely, Creeping Woodsorrel ( Oxalis corniculata ) is a terrestrial seed plant (Spermatophyta). Additionally, Water Clover ( Marsilea minuta  L.) is also bigger than Creeping Woodsorrel ( Oxalis corniculata )  Ini adalah Semanggi Air ( Marsilea minuta  L.). Penduduk sekitar (Sumedang, Jawa Barat; Sunda) menyebutnya Semangen, tapi sebagian besar orang Indonesia menyebutnya "Semanggi". Sekilas, tumbuhan ini mirip dengan Semanggi/Daun Asam Kecil ( Oxalis corniculata ), bahkan nama lokanyapun sama Semanggi. Tapi, sebenarnya keduanya sangat berbeda. S
