 എങ്ങനെHow did the Mupli beetle, also known as 'Kotteruma', get its name from the annoyance of the locals in the hilly villages and rubber plantations of Kerala?

 മു Thirty beetles, also known as black beetles, which used to be found only in hilly villages and rubber plantations in Kerala, are now ubiquitous. Although many people try many different methods, they are not completely eradicated.

 It takes about two weeks for the infection to subside, which is not life threatening or serious. These have many names in many places. There are many different names for the place, such as Otturuma, Otteruma, Kotteruma, Karinchellu, Olachathan, Olaprani and Acid Fly. The names are many but the harm remains unchanged. Some places also have names like 'Olachattan' and 'Olaprani' as they like shady houses. The first number is one or two. Then hundreds of herds flocked to the wall, clinging to the wall like beeswax. If it falls on the body, it will burn and it will become fat. It smells unbearable. Can't even eat. This is because households in different parts of the country often stay out of the light at night.

  These creatures, which reach human settlements, penetrate people's ears and noses and cause accidents. Many family members sleep with their ears and nose covered with a cloth. They usually breed from rubber trees during hot weather. Although it does not attack people directly, the harm caused by muple beetles is not insignificant. Many people often get sleepless nights because of the space on the beds and walls. There are even those who have left their homes in previous years and moved to other places for fear of beetles. They can stick to tiles and other items and fall into kitchen utensils, making them unusable.

 

 Although he was in sight, the attack was carried out by a group. It has a thick crust and foul-smelling sap, so it is not eaten by any living thing. For this reason, there is no enemy threat. This is the secret of breeding. The scientific name is luprops tristis.

 Mupliwand got its name from the fact that it was first seen in the Mupli rubber plantation in Thrissur district of Kerala. Mupli beetles appear in orchards during the deciduous period of rubber. They are a big threat to children and infants. Some people may experience dizziness, nausea, and vomiting due to the pungent odor.

  They feed on the withered leaves of the rubber tree, appear in the orchards and start laying eggs within two to three weeks in the canopy. Within a month of hatching, the eggs complete various stages of growth and turn into pupae. As the days go by the pupae turn into brown beetles. Mupli beetles are more common at night in summer. People use a variety of methods, including pesticides, to get rid of these swarms in the dark at night.

 Mach does not eat like lice. After the rainy season, they rest again until the leaves fall on the rubber plantations again next summer and the mattress is ready. Only sleep in the dark corners without food, drink or rest. In intermittent seizures, some people fall prey to the bodies and food of those below them.

 With the onset of the monsoon season, locusts settle in our homes. In the case of run-down houses, these are hidden among the tiles. During the monsoon season, it is important to take precautionary measures against spiders.

 Here are some tips to help you get rid of acne:

 ടുത്ത്Take water in a flat bowl and light a candle in it. They attract light and fall into the water and die. It can then be swept away and destroyed.

 ⚡A mixture of petrol and lime is said to be effective. They can be destroyed by spraying kerosene on them sitting in groups during the day. They last only 15 seconds in kerosene.

 ഇവThese can be repelled to some extent by spraying Flykill, a drug used to destroy the body of the beetle (a type of beetle). This medicine should be sprayed on the mouth and nose. They die when sprayed.

 Health officials say the discomfort of touching Mupliwand will go away in two weeks. But in rare cases, it can last a long time. It can feel like it has been burned with acid when hit on the face and so on. It will take some time to heal.

 Some people have blisters on the body. There may be pain. It can be detected by waking up. If touched, it may be suspected that the spider has bitten. Experienced people say that if it is found on the body, it can increase the extent of the burn if it is beaten or bitten.

 Beetles appear in the orchards during the late fall of rubber in late December. Their main food is the withered leaves falling from the rubber tree. In addition, rubber leaves provide favorable conditions for their growth. Due to the rains received in April, the beetles leave the garden and migrate to nearby houses and buildings.

 They come in groups in the light of night. In the past, people used various methods to repel beetles. However, as these begin to arrive in droves, many find it difficult to know what to do.

 The high fertility and charcoal bushes in the rubber plantations spread all over Kerala made it impossible to control their availability of food. Mupli beetles love night and summer and are prone to rain and cold.

 As soon as it starts raining, all the adult beetles fly away and cling to the safety of nearby buildings. New ones will fly in and take over the land, just as the tenure of the land was taken over by the previous generations. There are areas that have been occupied continuously for up to twenty years without leaving the same barns and houses. The number of beetles in a single building can range from five lakhs to forty five lakhs.

 Even if it starts raining in the south, it will take a few more days for the rains to reach North Kerala. Therefore, it is possible to get a few extra days to mate and complete the growth stages, so most of the flocks are found in Malabar. Although their life cycle is only one year, each new generation will come to the old building in droves, remembering and leaving without leaving.

 There is no obvious difference in appearance between male and female beetles. The female lays 10 to 15 eggs.

 The hatching larvae are white but turn black over time. The leaves germinate and become pupae within a month after completing five stages of growth. But it only takes three days for the pupa to turn into a beetle.

 Researchers have not yet determined how the wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion.

 The formula for sharing the Mupli Wand's building tenure with the next generation is not entirely clear.
