Have you ever seen a green caterpillar with white stripes attached to an orange tree? Krmarin I met these animals in the province of Aceh, precisely in the Cold City area of ​​a thousand hills, the district of Benermeriah, Gayo.

This caterpillar is known as the name
"Papilio caterpillar memnon". Caterpillars are often found in the orange tree, his life depends on the orange tree with daily eating the foliage as seen in this photo yesterday I viralkan via my samsung phone. Papilio larvae memnon not hairy like most other caterpillars, if untouched do not make skin that touch it feels itch.



Cocoon Papilio memnon

In general, Papilio Larva memnon often found in citrus trees in Southeast Asia. In addition to eating the leaves of citrus trees, they are also found eating the leaves of srikaya trees are still young.

All types of orange leaves as food faporitnya including bali orange leaves, lime, lemon, lemon and various other citrus.

Papilio larvae form memnon The green caterpillar with this white strip will later morphed into a black butterfly with a red line on its wing. Next the adult butterfly will lay eggs and after a few days, the egg will hatch and become a small dark green larvae with an irregular white tinge. As the growth of the larvae will be greater and will appear white lines patterned on the body.

Usually Larva Papilio memnon when his life was disturbed, then the larvae will remove organs such as red soft Tanduk from his head and issued a bad odor, in that way used as a defense in order to avoid the predator animals and that way until it can undermine the intentions of eating larvae eaters the.



The papilio cocoon initially turns green and then turns to darkish brown, gradually becomes lighter as the parrot grows older. After about 1 month, the cocoon opens and turns into an adult Papilio butterfly that sends the flowers from one place to another.

The butterfly takes a long time to get out of the cocoon and expand its wings so it can fly. It takes a long time from starting to open a cocoon to flying. This time becomes very vulnerable for butterflies to be eaten by insect predators such as birds or chickens. Butterflies that fail to develop their wings will not be able to fly and will usually die after some time because they can not find food.

Papilio memnon mating, females have a white color on the bottom wing. Like a butterfly in general, Papilio memnon eats a flowered nectar of proboscis at the tip of his mouth. Although at the time of larvae they live in orange trees, as adults they will seek the nectar of various flowers that they find. After getting out of the cocoon and getting food, Papilio memnon will be ready to mate and the female will put the egg on the orange leaves again.

Apakah anda pernah melihat ulat berwarna hijau dengan Garis-garis putih yang menempel pada pohon jeruk? Krmarin saya temui hewan-hewan ini di daerah Provinsi Aceh, tepatnya di kawasan Kota Dingin seribu bukit, wilayah Kabupaten Benermeriah, Gayo.



Ulat ini dikenal dengan sebutan bernama “Ulat Papilio memnon”. Ulat tersebut sering ditemui terdapat pada pohon Jeruk, hidupnya tergantung pada pohon jeruk dengan kesehariannya memakan dedaunan seperti yang terlihat di poto ini kemarin saya viralkan melalui handphone samsung saya. Larva Papilio memnon tidak berbulu seperti kebanyakan ulat lainnya, jika tersentuh tidak membuat kulit yang menyentuhnya terasa gatal.

Kepompong Papilio memnon

Secara umum, Larva Papilio memnon banyak dijumpai pada pohon jeruk di kawasan Asia Tenggara. Selain memakan daun pohon jeruk, mereka juga dijumpai memakan daun pohon srikaya yang masih muda.

Semua jenis daun jeruk sebagai makanan faporitnya diantaranya jenis daun Jeruk bali, jeruk purut, jeruk nipis, jeruk lemon dan berbagai macam jeruk lainnya.



Kepompong Papilio memnon

Bentuk larva Papilio memnon Ulat hijau dengan garis putih ini nantinya akan bermetamorfosis menjadi kupu-kupu warna hitam dengan garis merah di sayapnya. Selanjutnya Kupu-kupu dewasa akan bertelur dan setelah beberapa hari, telur tersebut akan menetas dan menjadi larva kecil berwarna hijau tua dengan semburat putih yang tidak teratur. Seiring pertumbuhannya larva akan semakin besar dan akan muncul garis-garis putih yang berpola pada tubuhnya.

Biasanya Larva Papilio memnon apabila hidupnya merasa terganggu, maka larva akan mengeluarkan organ seperti Tanduk lunak berwarna merah dari kepalanya dan mengeluarkan bau yang tidak sedap, dengan cara itu digunakannya sebagai pertahanan agar dapat terhindar dari hewan pemangsa dan cara itulah hingga dapat mengurungkan niat pemangsa memakan larva tersebut.

Kepompong Papilio memnon awalnya berwarna hijau kemudian akan berubah menjadi coklat kehitaman, berangsur-angsur akan menjadi semakin terang seiring dengan bertambah tuanya kepompong. Setelah sekitar 1 bulan, kepompong akan membuka dan berubah menjadi kupu-kupu Papilio memnon dewasa yang akan mengirim sari-sari bunga dari satu tempat ke tempat bunga yang lain .



Kepompong Papilio memnon

Kupu-kupu perlu waktu cukup lama untuk keluar dari kepompong dan mengembangkan sayapnya sehingga dapat terbang. Dibutuhkan waktu berjam-jem dari mulai membuka kepompong hingga dapat terbang. Waktu ini menjadi sangat rentan bagi kupu-kupu untuk dimakan oleh hewan pemangsa serangga seperti burung atau ayam. Kupu-kupu yang gagal mengembangkan sayapnya tidak akan mampu terbang dan biasanya akan mati setelah beberapa waktu karena tidak bisa mencari makan.

Papilio memnon mating, betina memiliki warna putih di sayap bagian bawah. Seperti kupu-kupu pada umumnya, Papilio memnon memakan nectar bunga yang dihisap menggnakan proboscis pada ujung mulutnya. Walaupun pada waktu larva mereka hidup di pohon jeruk, saat dewasa mereka akan mencari nectar dari berbagai macam bunga yang mereka temukan. Setelah keluar dari kepompong dan mendapatkan makanan, Papilio memnon akan siap kawin dan si betina akan meletakkan telur pada daun jeruk kembali.

Hello @launglilawangsa, We have met 2 times already!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
