ʻIʻike ʻia ka pepeke lāʻau he ʻuhane a me ka lau o ka lau. Pili ia i ka lāhui Phasmatodea. ʻO ka inoa mai ka Greek Greek φάσμα phasma, ʻo ia hoʻi "phenomena" a i ʻole "ʻuhane". Helu ʻia nā Zoologists e pili ana i 3000 mau ʻano o nā pepeke lāʻau.
Ma hea e noho ai nā mea kolo lāʻau?
ʻIke ʻia nā mea kolo ma nā ʻāina āpau, koe wale ʻo Antarctica, ʻoi aku ka nui ma nā tropika a me nā subtropics. Ma mua o 300 mau ʻano lūlū koʻokoʻo i lawe i kahi moemoeā i ka mokupuni ʻo Borneo, e hoʻolilo ana iā ia i wahi makemake nui ʻia ma ka honua e hoʻopaʻa i nā lāʻau insect.
He ākea ka laulā o nā lāʻau kolo lāʻau, loaʻa lākou i nā ʻāina haʻahaʻa a i nā kuahiwi, i ka mahana a me ka wela, i nā wahi maloʻo a me nā wai. Noho nā pepeke lāʻau i nā lāʻau a me nā nāhelehele, akā noho kekahi mau ʻano i nā wahi hānai.
He aha nā ʻano pepeke lāʻau
E like me nā mea kolo, he kino ʻekolu mau ʻāpana o nā lāʻau insect (ke poʻo, ka umauma a me ka ʻōpū), ʻekolu pālua o nā wāwae i hui ʻia, nā maka hui pū, a me nā antennae ʻelua. He peʻa a lele kekahi ʻano, a ʻo nā mea i kaupalena ʻia i ka neʻe.
1.5 a 60 paha kenetimika ka lōʻihi o nā nūpepa; ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine. Loaʻa i kekahi mau ʻano i nā kino lāʻau like cylindrical, ʻoiai he pālahalaha kekahi, ʻano lau.
Hoʻololi i nā kolo lāʻau i ke kaiapuni
Hoʻohālike nā mea kolo lāʻau i ke kala o ke kaiapuni, ʻōmaʻomaʻo a ʻeleʻele paha lākou, ʻoiai ʻeleʻele, hina, a i ʻole nā ʻenekena lāʻau polū i loaʻa.
Kekahi laha, e like me Carausius morosus, ke hoʻololi nei i kā lākou pigmentation e like me ko lākou kaiapuni, e like me ka chameleon.
ʻO nā ʻano he nui e neʻe i ka neʻe ʻana, ke kino o nā ʻenekini e lele ana mai kekahi ʻaoʻao ai kekahi ʻaoʻao, e like me nā lau a i ʻole nā lālā i ka makani.
Ke lawa ʻole ka camouflage, hoʻohana nā kolo i nā ʻano hana o ka pale e hakakā i nā predators. ʻO kahi laʻana, hāʻawi ka ʻano Eurycantha calcarata i kahi mea ʻala weliweli. I nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, ʻike ʻole nā ʻeheu ʻeleʻele i ka pelu ʻana. Ke hoʻoweliweli ka lāʻau kolo, hohola lākou i ko lākou ʻeheu, a laila hāʻule i ka honua a hūnā hou i ko lākou mau ʻeheu.
ʻO nā kolo lāʻau lāʻau nā pō i noho i ka hapa nui o ka lā me ka neʻe ʻole, peʻe ma lalo o nā mea kanu. Kōkua kēia taktika iā lākou e hōʻalo i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻia e nā mea ʻino.
ʻAi nā mea kolo lāʻau i ke kūlohelohe
ʻO lākou nā mea kanu lāʻau, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻo kaʻai a ka ʻeneto he vegetarian wale nō. ʻAi nā pepeke lāʻau i nā lau a me nā mea kanu ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa kekahi o lākou a ʻai wale i kā lākou greens punahele. ʻO nā mea laulā he lehulehu.
He aha nā mea pono
Loaʻa i nā huna kolo lāʻau i nā mea kanu i hoʻoiho ʻia i lilo i meaʻai na nā ʻelala ʻē aʻe.
Pehea e hoʻohua ai nā pepeke lāʻau
Hoʻopuka nā pepelu lāʻau i nā keiki ma o ka partogenesis. I ka hana kolohe ʻaʻano ʻole, hana nā wahine wahine ʻole i hua i mau manu mai nā mea wahine mai. Inā hoʻomomona ke kāne i ka hua manu, aia kahi 50/50 manawa e hake ai ke kāne. Inā ʻaʻohe kāne, hoʻomau ka wahine i ka genus.
Hoʻokahi ka wahine e waiho ma waena o nā hua he 100 a 1200, kaukaʻi ʻia i nā ʻano. ʻO nā hua manu e like me ka ʻano a me ka nui a loaʻa nā pūpū paʻakikī. Kū ka Incubation mai 3 a 18 mau mahina.
