L. decora has an opaque black, tubular dorsal with a shallow depression and an angle on the left and right for a pair of wings. A narrow segment at the back separated by a horizontal crease to connect with the abdomen.

The belly is round, inclines vertically, has the largest size of all the rest of the body, is bluish black and shiny, a line of vertical angles in the middle and several horizontal creases or folds.

A pair of forelegs has four segments, is straight or curved and is black. A pair of middle legs under the wings and a pair of black hind legs. The legs are almost the same size and symmetrical.

The front has a curved border with a predominance of black and a gold plot on the front towards the end. The back has a curved border with a transparent predominance.

Klinjer lives solitary in primary and secondary forests with amboyna pine (Agathis) and pine (Pinus) communities in the tropics at an altitude of 1000 meters, perches on the trunks of large trees and may like tree sap.

Thomas Sutikna lives with Homo floresiensis

BLOG - On October 28, 2004, a paper was published in Nature describing the dwarf hominin we know today as Homo floresiensis that has shocked the world. The report changed the geographical landscape of early humans that previously stated that the Pleistocene Asia was only represented by two species, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens . The report titled "A new small-bodied hominin from the Late Pleistocene of Flores, Indonesia" written by Peter Brown and Mike J. Morwood from the University of New England with Thomas Sutikna, Raden Pandji Soejono, Jatmiko, E. Wahyu Saptomo and Rokus Awe Due from the National Archaeology Research Institute (ARKENAS), Indonesia, presents more diversity in the genus Homo. “Immediately, my fever vanished. I couldn’t sleep well that night. I couldn’t wait for sunrise. In the early morning we went to the site, and when we arrived in the cave, I didn’t say a thing because both my mind and heart couldn’t handle this incredible moment. I just went down...

Purwaceng (Pimpinella pruatjan)

Purwaceng or purwoceng or antanan gunung or Viagra of Java ( Pimpinella pruatjan or Pimpinella priatjan ) are small termas growing horizontally in Apiaceae, growing in villages on Dieng Plateau, Central Java Province, Indonesia, at 1,500 to 2,000 meters above sea level, the roots have medicinal properties for aphrodisiacs and are usually processed in powder form for a mixture of coffee or milk. P. pruatjan grows flat on the ground but does not propagate, small leaves are reddish green for 1-3 cm in diameter. This plant is only found in Java and grows in high mountain areas. A low population where industrial demand is very high results in increasingly scarce. Another place that is likely to become a purwaceng habitat is the Iyang Mountains and the Tengger Mountains in East Java Province. Efforts to multiply and cultivate have a big problem where these plants have difficulty producing seeds. In vitro propagation research through tissue cultivation has been carried out to overcome ...
