tomcat-Paederus fasciatus

Tomcat is also known as the Semai Ants/ Kayap Ants. but basically tomcat is included in this type of beetle. This beetle has a length of approximately 1 cm. Its body is dark yellow at the top, dark colored abdomen and head. The middle of a dark green abdomen has a pair of hard wings , these beetles appear crawling in the region around the wings and hide it in one look more like ants. When disturbed these beetles will raise the abdomen to look like  kalajengking to frighten the enemy.

Tomcat (Paederus fasciatus) is the kind of insects do not bite or sting. Tomcat will automatically discharge when in contact or collide with human skin. Tomcat (Paederus fasciatus) will also issue liquid toxic at such as clothes, towels, or other.

In the body of Tomcat, there is a liquid toxic that supposedly 12 times more lethal than cobra venom though!  Fluid Hemolimf or toxins are also known as aederin.

Insects Tomcat will automatically discharge when in contact or collide with human skin directly. It could also touch indirectly through towels, clothes or other equipment that is contaminated by toxic tomcat. If you have been hit by automatic dermatitis, bed linens, towels and other items allegedly exposed to toxic tomcat should be cleaned.

Contact with the beetle will cause conjunctivitis and skin diseases are known as ': dermatitis linearis'.

 if tomcat attached to the body should not be touched driven by wind-blown course and when it is exposed to the poison should be washed with soapy water and then give ointments and antibiotics. Typically 1% hydrocortisone ointment or antibiotic neomycin sulfate betametasone and 3 times daily or Acyclovir 5%.

These insects have habitat in the rice fields, forests and urban parks. Typically, these insects eat other insects egg-eating leaves.

buah talok (cherry)

Cherry or  Talok is the name of the fruits are small and sweet can reach 12 m, but generally the tree is only about 3-6 m. These trees are always green and continuous flowering and fruiting throughout the year. the tree have horizontal branches, hanging on the end; forming a leafy shade.

2. Antiflamasi

Cherry decoction of the leaves also have anti-inflammatory reduce inflammation (antiflamasi) and also lower the heat, these data from animal studies using mice as a research object

3. Antitumor

The content of flavonoid compounds contained in the leaves have turned cherry can inhibit cancer cell growth (mouse hapatoma) by laboratories that conducted by scientists from peru.

4. Anti Uric Acid (Gout)

In Indonesia cherry fruit has been traditionally used to treat gout by eating a cherry for 9 items 3 times a day. It is proven to relieve pain caused from gout page.

health with fruits

Every color of the fruits, fortified with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential compounds that provide beneficial effects to the body. By eating colorfull fruits, we can get a variety of nutrients. Netdoctor (11/6) tell  kind of fruit that must eat, there are :
 

Red, Tomato
Although considered a vegetable, in fact the tomato is a fruit. Tomatoes are good sources of lycopene (red pigment) that can protect body from the dangers of some types of cancer, such as lung cancer, breast and prostate.
Lycope shown to provide protection against prostate cancer in men. Numerous studies found that intake of tomatoes and tomato products  (such as pasta sauce) was associated a lower risk of prostate cancer.

Blue, Blueberry
Blueberries are rich in carotenoids and anthocyanins, which act as powerful antioxidants that protect cells from damage. These antioxidants help reduce the risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease. Anthocyanins in blueberries work well as anti-allergic, anti-inflamasi, anti-microbial and anti-cancer properties.
Research shown that eat blueberries regularly improve memory function, protecting urinary tract, as well as several eye disorders, such as macular degeneration, cataracts and eye infections.
 

Purple, Grape
Grape rich of resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant help clean the blood vessels, reducing  risk of stroke and heart disease by altering the molecular mechanism in blood vessels.
Resveratrol also  provide protection against colon cancer, prostate cancer, neurological and Alzheimer's disease.
Research showed that resveratrol could reduce the production of fat cells and increases the absorption of sugar from the blood.

ulet sutera 'dayang sumbi'

ini adalah paket liburan ku ke bandung mei lalu,, selain saung angklung, aku juga sangat senang liburan ke tempat budidaya ulat sutra di padepokan dayang sumbi. padepokan ini terletak terletak di Bandung Timur, Kampung Pamoyanan, Desa Mekarmanik, Jl.Arcamanik Kecamatan Cimenyan Kabupaten Bandung. Padepokan ini merupakan pelopor Wisata Ilmu Budidaya Ulat Sutera pertama di Indonesia lho. . 

ini dia peta nya : 

gambar. peta menuju padepokan dayang sumbi

Proses Pembuatan  Sutra dihasilkan dari kepompong ulat sutra. Ulat sutra menghasilkan kepompong yang dapat dipintal menjadi serat sutra. Ada ratusan jenis ulat sutra, namun sutra yang terbaik dihasilkan oleh kepompong dari ulat sutra pohon murbei yang memiliki nama ilmiah Bombyx mori.

berikut merupakan klasifikasi dari Bombyx mori L. :

   Kingdom     : Animalia

   Filum           : Arthropoda

   Sub Filum    : Mandibulata

   Class           : Insecta

   Sub Class    : Pterygota

   Ordo           : Lepidoptera

   Family         : Bombycidae

   Genus          : Bombyx

Bombyx mori termasuk ke dalam ordo Lepidoptera, memiliki tipe metamorphosis sempuna dimana terdapat tahapan telur-larva-pupa-imago. Ketika telur ulat sutera menetas maka akan keluar larva yang berwarna hitam, kemudian larva tersebut akan melewati beberapa instar sehingga menjadi pupa. Instar tersebut ditandai dengan adanya proses ganti kulit yang dialami oleh ulat tersebut. Proses dari menetas sampai ganti kulit pertama disebut instar pertama, ganti kulit kedua sampai ganti kulit kedua disebut instar kedua dan seterusnya

Makanan yang biasa dikonsumsi oleh ulat sutera adalah daun murbei. Biasanya daun yang digunakan untuk makanan ulat sutera diambil dari daun 2 – 4 dari pucuk tanaman. Karena apabila terlalu muda atau terlalu tua daun tersebut, maka ulat sutera tidak dapat menkonsumsinya. Usahakan daun yang digunakan jangan basah, karena kondisi tersebut tidak cukup bagus untuk pertumbuhan ulat sutera.

Ulat sutera membuat kokon, untuk melindungi diri selama menjalani fase metamorfosa sebagai pupa. Fase ini lebih kurang membutuhkan waktu dua pekan. Ketika baru menetas, ulat hanya memiliki panjang tiga milimeter. Setelah sehari, ulat bertambah panjang menjadi sekitar tujuh milimeter. Selama menjalani fase larva, ulat sutera mengalami empat kali ganti kulit dan lima periode makan. Periode makan ini disebut Instar.

Sebutan Mori di belakang Bombyx Mori atau ulat sutera, merujuk pada makanannya, daun murbei. Bentuk fisik ulat sutera sangat khas. Fisik ulat sutera terbagi ke dalam tiga bagian utama. Yakni kepala, bagian thorax, serta abdomen atau tubuh. Di bagian kepala terdapat antena sebagai organ syaraf perasa. Ada rahang untuk mengunyah makanan. Ada pula mata dan masih ada spinneret, tempat keluarnya filamen sutera. Siklus hidup ulat sutera sejak bayi hingga masa kawin serta bertelur hanya berlangsung selama kisaran waktu satu bulan. Kupu-kupu melewati fase perkembangan hidup sebagai pupa kurang lebih dua pekan. Kupu-kupu baru bisa keluar setelah mengeluarkan cairan liur, khusus untuk melubangi kokon rumah serat sutera yang dibangunnya selama tiga hingga lima hari tanpa henti.

induk sutra dapat menelurkan hingga 500 butir telur ulat sutra seukuran kepala jarum pentul. Setelah sekitar 20 hari, telur tersebut menetas menjadi larva ulat yang sangat kecil. Larva ulat ini akan memakan daun murbei dengan agresif. Sekitar 18 hari kemudian, ukuran badan larva ulat tersebut telah membesar hingga 70 kali ukuran tubuh semula serta empat kali mengganti cangkangnya. Kemudian larva ulat tersebut akan terus membesar hingga beratnya mencapai 10.000 kali berat semula. Pada saat itu ulat sutra akan berwarna kekuningan dan lebih padat. Itulah tanda ulat sutra akan mulai membungkus dirinya dengan kepompong.

Kemudian kepompong direbus agar larva ulat di dalamnya mati. Karena jika dibiarkan, ulat akan matang lalu menggigiti kepompongnya sehingga tidak bisa digunakan lagi. Setelah ulat mati, serat di kepompong dapat diuraikan menjadi serat sutra yang sangat halus.

Satu buah kepompong sutra dapat menghasilkan untaian serat sepanjang 300 meter hingga 900 meter dengan diameter 10 mikrometer (1/1000 milimeter). 

 Kemudian serat sutra yang halus tersebut dipintal. Serat sutra dipintal dengan proses yang menyerupai proses pada saat ulat sutra memintal kepompongnya. Proses itulah yang dibuat menjadi alat pemintalan serat sutra untuk dibuat menjadi kain sutra yang indah. Bahan kain dari sutra inilah yang kemudian dibuat menjadi berbagai produk pakaian maupun produk lainnya.

Angklung adalah salah satu alat musik traditional khas Jawa Barat yang terbuat dari bambu, dan sudah ditetapkan UNESCO sebagai warisan budaya dunia. Untuk memainkannya, Anda cukup menggoyangkan dan menggetarkan angklung dengan tangan. Pada zaman dulu, angklung digunakan saat ritual keagamaan. Khususnya, digunakan sebagai media pengundang Dewi Sri, biasa disebut Dewi Padi atau kesuburan, untuk turun ke bumi dan memberikan kesuburan pada tanaman. 

sebelum masuk saung angklung udjo kita harus beli tiket dulu harganya Rp. 50.000,00 trus masuk masing - masing di beri selebaran (berisi jadwal pertunjukan dan deskripsinya). saat memasuki tempat pertunjukan kita disambut dengan di kalungi kalung angklung kecil lucu lho. . trus masuk kita disuguhi  wedang bajigur. Pertunjukan di saung nagklung udjo ini dilakukan setiap hari.  Pertunjukan saung angklung mang udjo di mulai pukul 15.30-17.30 . di awali dengan pembukaan oleh teteh - teteh cantik dan disusul dengan pertunjukan wayang cepot, pertunjukan angklung dengan berbagai kreasi, tari - tari dan Setiap orang, nantinya akan diberi satu angklung dan diajari cara memainkan angklung dengan benar.

saat itu aku dapet nada 3 'mi'.selain itu kita juga di ajari bermain dengan memainkan lagu. .rameee bangget deh,,pokoknya amazing bangget. dan di akhir acara kita ber-sayonara berpisah dengan melakukan tari - tari bersama penonton bagian depan. 

setelah puas melihat pertunjukan dan belajar angklung, kita dapat membeli cindera mata di samping tempat perrtunjukan, disana ada bermacam-macam cindera mata yang harganya cukup terjangkau. ada angklung, suling bambu, kain batik, tas, kaos, gantungan kunci, dsb pokoknya komplit deh dan pastinya khas saung angklung yaitu terbuat dari bambu. .
