Monomad: Red Cotton Stainer Bug Mating

in Black And White10 days ago (edited)

When I found out that Bapak Pucung is a pest for cotton fruit, it immediately reminded me of my childhood when I found Bapak Pucung mostly on cotton trees. The black and white striped Serang really likes cotton fruit sap. He inhales the sap of the cotton fruit as his food. While the cotton fruit that has been inhaled by Pucung's sap also decreases in quality. In addition, Pucung is part of the food chain for other predatory animals. Among them are large spiders, and birds that are always lurking. For the sustainability of its population, this animal also carries out the mating process. Like the picture I took below, which is a view of a pair of Pucung in the process of mating.
