Linti stick insect (Linti linti)

Linti stick insect or Linti walking stick (Linti linti) is an animal species in Bacillidae, an insect with a shape like a plant branch, without wings, green or dark brown throughout, internodes, long legs and climbing plants to stay still without moving to camouflage as dry plants.

L. linti has a long cylindrical body, a segmented belly with a line on each side, green or dark brown with a linear black line. The head has a size smaller than the body, oval and a pair of brown eyes on the right and left.

A pair of antennae at the end of the head, short and brown. Three pairs of legs, appearing on the right and left, are square and sharp angled with a cylindrical tip, long and slender, three internodes with two joints and green or brown.

Linti stick insect eat plants. During the day have silence to disguise themselves as sticks with the colors of the environment and pretend to be dead if they feel threatened. The eggs are round in shape with some glyphic and sponge-like on top.

Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia)

Sonokeling or Java palisandre or Indian rosewood ( Dalbergia latifolia ) is a species of plant in the Fabaceae, a large tree producing hardwood, medium weight and high quality, rounded leaves, thin and broad pods, highly adaptive, grows in dry and rocky landscapes with lots of sunlight. D. latifolia has medium to large size, cylindrical stems, up to 40 m high with a ring of up to 2 m, the bark is brownish gray and slightly cracked longitudinally. The crown is dense, dome-shaped and sheds leaves. The leaves are compound and pinnate oddly with 5-7 strands that have different sizes and appear alternately on the shaft. The leaves are round or elongated in width or heart, the upper surface is green and the surface is pale green. The flowers are small, 0.5-1 cm long and clustered in panicles. The pods are green to brown when ripe and are elongated lanceolate, pointed at the base and tip. The pods have 1-4 seeds which are soft and brownish. Indian rosewood grows at elevations below 600 m,

Evolution theory goes beyond

OPINION - As a Wallacean and Darwinian, I have always viewed life from the perspective of evolutionism. I see the world of plants and animals always using evolutionary theories. How a species develops functional organs, forms morphology, adapts to ecosystems and so on as a natural laws. This perspective ultimately forms my framework for thinking about various things, including the way I see myself, everyday problems and the way I think about big things such as economics, geopolitics, war and so on using an evolutionary perspective. Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck are three great figures who really inspired me. They are well known as pioneers of evolutionary theories. They start from small things in the sub-subject of biology, although they also discuss geology and so on. Wallace focused on species adaptation and Darwin on sexual selection. Both developed evolutionary thinking using observational methods. Lamarck focused on structural morphology using l
