ʻO ka ʻūpā lepo polū (Chalybion californiaicum) no ke kauoha ʻo Hymenoptera. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka wehewehe o ka laha californiaic e Saussure i ka makahiki 1867.
Hoʻolahalaha ka ʻūpā lepo polū.
Hoʻolahalaha ʻia ka ʻūpā lepo polū ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, mai ka hema o Kanada a hiki i ka ʻākau o Mexico. ʻIke ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka hapanui o Michigan a me nā mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe, a hoʻomau ka pae i ka hema i Mexico. Ua hoʻolauna ʻia ka ʻūpā lepo polū i Hawaiʻi a me Bermuda.
ʻO ka nohona o ka ʻūlū lepo polū.
ʻIke ʻia ka ʻūpā lepo polū i nā ʻano wahi like ʻole me nā mea kanu pua a me nā nananana. No ka pūnana, pono ʻo ia i wahi wai. ʻO nā wao akua, nā puʻu, nā savannah, nā nāhelehele, nā mānoanoa chaparral, kūpono nā ulu lāʻau no ka noho ʻana. Hōʻike kēia mau nalo i ka hoʻopuehu nui ʻana ma waena o ka pae. Noho pinepine lākou kokoke i nā wahi kanaka a kūkulu i nā pūnana ma nā hale kanaka e ana ana he 0.5 x 2-4 iniha. I ka ʻimi ʻana i nā wahi kūpono no ka pūnana, uhi maʻalahi lākou i kahi mamao. ʻIke ʻia nā nū ʻula polū i nā māla i ke kau waena o ke kauwela i ka wā a ma hope o ka hoʻoinu.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi ʻōpala lepo polū.
ʻO nā nalo lepo polū nā kolo nui o ka uliuli, polū-ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ʻole ke kala ʻeleʻele me ka sheen metallic. 9 mm nā kāne - 13 mm ka lōʻihi, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o lākou ma mua o nā wahine, a hiki i 20 mm - 23 mm. Loaʻa ke ʻano o ke kino o nā kāne a me nā wahine, he pōkole a liʻiliʻi hoʻi ka pūhaka ma waena o ka umauma a me ka ʻōpū, ua uhi ʻia ke kino me nā umauma palupalu.
ʻEleʻele nā aniani a me nā wāwae. ʻO nā ʻeheu o nā kāne a me nā wahine he matte, aniani ke ʻano like me ke kino. ʻOi aku ka huluhulu o ke kino o kahi ʻōpala lepo polū a he ʻāpana uliuli kila kona. ʻOi aku ka nani o kēia mau mea kolo i nā kukuna o ka lā.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i ka ʻūpā lepo polū.
ʻAʻole ākea ka ʻike hoʻoulu no nā nalo lepo polū. I ke kau moʻo, ʻike nā kāne i nā wahine no ka pā ʻana. Hoʻohana nā nalo ʻula polū kokoke i nā lua kūpono kūlohelohe a i ʻole hana ʻino.
ʻO kēia ʻano pūnana nalo ma nā wahi mehameha ma lalo o ke aniani, nā hale o nā hale, ma lalo o nā alahaka, ma nā wahi malu, i kekahi manawa ma loko o ka puka aniani a me ka puka ea. ʻIke ʻia nā pūnana e pili ana i nā pōhaku e kau ana, nā pā pōhaku, a me nā lāʻau i hina.
Noho pū nā ʻenekala i nā pūnana kahiko, i haʻalele ʻia i ka nalo ʻeleʻele a me ka melemele.
Hoʻoponopono nā wahine i nā pūnana me ka pālolo wai maʻū mai kahi waihona. No ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hunaola lepo, pono nā mea holoi e hana i nā lele he nui i ka waihona wai. I ka manawa like, kūkulu nā wahine i nā keena hōnana hou a hoʻohui pākuʻi i ka pūnana. Hoʻokahi hua a me nā punawelewele lolo i moe ʻia i kēlā me kēia cell, kahi e lilo ai i meaʻai na nā ʻūlū. Uhi ʻia nā keʻena i kahi papa lepo. Noho nā hua i loko o nā keʻena, puka mai nā larvae mai o lākou aku, ʻai lākou i ke kino o ka nananana, a laila pupate i nā cocoons silika lahilahi. I kēia mokuʻāina, hibernate lākou i ka pūnana a hiki i ka puna aʻe, a laila hele i waho e like me nā pepeke makua.
Hoʻomoe kēlā me kēia wahine ma ka awelika ma kahi o 15 mau hua. Hoʻonāukiuki nā mea ʻino ʻokoʻa i kēia mau pūnana o nā nalo lepo polū, ʻo ia hoʻi kekahi mau ʻano cuckoo. ʻAi lākou i nā larvae a me nā nananana ke lele aku nā wahine no ka pālolo.
ʻO ka lawena o ka ʻōpala polū polū.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia nā nalo lepo polū e hakakā a hana kūpono, inā ʻaʻole hoʻonāukiuki ʻia. Ma ka manawa maʻamau ʻike ʻia lākou i kahi mele, i ka hanana e lolo lākou i nā mea pio, nā nananana a me nā mea kolo ʻē aʻe a lākou e alualu ai.
I kekahi manawa ʻike ʻia nā nalo lepo polū i nā hui liʻiliʻi ke peʻe ana no ka pō a i ʻole ke anilā maikaʻi ʻole. Hōʻike ʻia ke ʻano nohona o ke ola o kēia laha ʻaʻole wale i ka pō, akā i nā wā ao ʻōpua hoʻi, ke peʻe nā nalo ma lalo o nā pōhaku e kau ana. ʻO ia mau pūʻulu helu he mau kaukani mau kānaka, noho lākou i mau pō i ka lālani ma lalo o nā kaupaku o nā hale. Ua ʻākoakoa nā pūʻulu he 10 a iwakālua mau mea kolo i kēlā me kēia ahiahi no ʻelua pule ma lalo o ka lanai o ka lanai ma Reno, Nevada. ʻO ka helu o nā nūpē i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i ka manawa like i emi iki i ka hopena o ka pule ʻelua.
Hoʻomoe pinepine nā nalo lepo polū i kā lākou mau hua ma luna o ka nananana mua a lākou e ʻike ai.
Ma hope o nā keiki, lawe nā nalo lepo polū i ka wai i ka punana e palupalu i ka pālolo e wehe i nā keʻena pūnana. Ma hope o ka hemo ʻana o nā spider kahiko, lawe mai nā nalo lepo polū i nā punawelewele hou i paʻa i ka maʻi lolo a lākou e hoʻomoe ai i mau hua hou. ʻO nā lua o nā keʻena i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka lepo, i lawe ʻia mai ka pūnana mai, ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻū ʻia ʻana me ka wai. Hāpai nā peʻahi lepo polū i ka wai e hoʻokuʻu i ka lepo, ma mua o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka lepo e like me ka hana ʻana o nā nalo ʻeleʻele a me ka melemele (C. Ma ke ʻano he hopena o kēia mālama ʻana, loaʻa i nā pūnana o nā nū ʻū polū i kahi ʻano kūpikipiki, puʻupuʻu ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka laumania, a ʻo kahi o nā pūnana o nā ʻano ʻupu lepo. Kākaʻikahi ka wehe ʻana o nā nalo ʻāpana polū i nā pūnana lepo ʻeleʻele a me nā melemele melemele hou, e hemo a lawe iā lākou no kā lākou hoʻohana.
Hoʻonani pinepine kēia mau mea ʻenemi i nā pūnana me nā lāʻau pelele. Hoʻohana nui nā nalo ʻōpala polū i ke karakurt i meaʻai no nā lū. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻonoho pū ʻia nā nūnū ʻē aʻe i kēlā me kēia cell. Hopu pono nā ipo i nā punawelewele e noho ana ma ka pūnaewele, hopu iā lākou a mai komo i loko o kahi ʻupena pāhoa.
E hānai ana i ka nalo lepo polū.
ʻAi ʻia nā nalo ʻula polū e ka nectar pua, a me ka pollen paha. ʻAi ka lūlū, i ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻomohala, ʻai i nā kolo, i hopu ʻia e nā wahine makua. Hoʻopaʻa nui lākou i nā spider - ulana orb, lele lele ʻana, nā nalo kolo ʻāhiu a me nā spider pinepine o ka lāʻau karakurt. Pōpō ka ʻōpala polū i ka mea pio me ka lāʻau make, hoʻokomo iā ia i ka mea i hoʻomāʻū ʻia me ke ʻū. Noho kekahi o lākou ma kahi kokoke i ka lua e peʻe ai ka punawelewele a hoʻowalewale iā ia mai ka puʻuhonua. Inā ʻaʻole hiki i ka nalo ke hoʻohoka i ka nananana, a laila hāʻule pono ia i ka pūnaewele a lilo i mea pio na ke karakurt.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Hoʻokomo pinepine nā nalo lepo polū i ko lākou mau pūnana i nā hale a no laila ke kumu o kekahi pilikia me ko lākou alo. Akā ʻo kā lākou ʻano maʻamau ʻole a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā nananana no ka hānau ʻana, ma ke ʻano he rula, uku no ko lākou noho ʻana i nā hale. No laila, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e luku i nā nalo lepo polū, inā ua noho lākou i kou home, pono lākou a hānai i kā lākou keiki me nā nalo kolo e lilo i mea ʻawahia. Inā ua komo kahi loko ʻū polū i kou home, e hoʻāʻo pono e uhi iā ia me kahi kini a laila e hoʻokuʻu iā ia i waho. Mālama kēia ʻano ʻōpelu i ka helu o nā nananana karakurt, ka mea weliweli loa.
Kūlana mālama.
Ua pālahalaha ka ʻūpā lepo polū ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a no laila ʻaʻole ia e koi i nā hana mālama nui. ʻAʻohe ona kūlana kūikawā ma nā papa inoa IUCN.
