An Eternal Alliance
There is always something interesting in the world of insects. The most interesting thing to observe is how mutualism relationships work, and it happens in different species and even orders. We can imagine a peaceful world without conflict, as is often presented in animated movies about the friendships of animals.
Selalu ada hal menarik di dunia serangga. Hal yang paling menarik untuk dicermati adalah bagaimana hubungan mutualisme bekerja, dan hal itu terjadi pada spesies dan bahkan ordo yang berbeda. Kita dapat membayangkan dunia yang damai tanpa konflik, seperti yang sering ditampilkan dalam film animasi tentang persahabatan berbagai hewan.
I recently captured a beautiful moment of how a treehopper mimics thorns (Leptocentrus taurus) and establishes a mutual relationship with carpenter ants. Anyone who first witnessed this event would probably assume that the ants were intimidating the treehopper. Even I thought so at first. What happened was not what I thought.
Baru-baru ini saya mengabadikan momen indah tentang bagaimana seekor wereng pohon meniru duri (Leptocentrus taurus) dan menjalin hubungan timbal balik dengan semut tukang kayu. Siapa pun yang pertama kali menyaksikan peristiwa ini mungkin akan berasumsi bahwa semut-semut itu mengintimidasi wereng pohon tersebut. Bahkan saya pun awalnya berpikir demikian. Apa yang terjadi tidak seperti yang saya kira.
As you often notice, there is a mutual relationship between a buffalo and a starling. The treehopper mimics thorns alongside the carpenter ants. That's an eternal alliance.
Seperti yang sering Anda perhatikan, ada hubungan timbal balik antara seekor kerbau dan seekor burung jalak. Wereng pohon meniru duri bersama semut tukang kayu. Itu sebuah aliansi abadi.
As the saying goes, "Where there is sugar, there are ants." The treehopper always releases sweet dew through its abdomen to feed the ants. So you will often see that there is no treehopper without the presence of ants around...and the ants offer something that cannot be refused: an exclusive guard to keep the treehopper safe from any predators!
Seperti kata pepatah, "di mana ada gula, di situ ada semut." Wereng pohon selalu mengeluarkan embun manis melalui perutnya untuk memberi makan semut. Jadi Anda akan sering melihat bahwa tidak ada seekor wereng pohon tanpa kehadiran semut di sekitarnya...dan semut menawarkan sesuatu yang tidak dapat ditolak: perlindungan eksklusif untuk menjaga wereng pohon aman dari predator apa pun!
