Practical of Entomology

Students of Bachelor of Science Biology (Genetic,UKM) were doing their lab work for entomology lab. They were really busy pinning their insects collection.




After the pinning process, the insects were incubated in the incubator for few days.



Then, the insects were put into the insect box.

Allah S.W.T Explains The important of Insects in Al-Quran

Honey as a Medicine

Surah An-Nahl:68&69

And Lord Inspired the Bees, Saying:"Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect (68). "Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this indeed a sign for people who think (69)

Penyelidikan jadi teras tugas pensyarah

Ahli-ahli akademik di Universiti mempunyai dwifungsi yakni untuk menyampaikan ilmu (penyelidikan). Kedua-dua kegiatan ini sama pentingnya dan suatu rumusan yang seimbang haruslah dicari untuk kemajuan universiti ini khasnya dan juga negara amnya. Sepanjang 35 tahun sejak penubuhan UKM pada tahun 1970, ahli-ahli akademik telah giat melakukan penyelidikan dalam berbagai-bagai jurusan keilmuan yang relevan yang bangsa dan negara.

Kegiatan penyelidikan telah menjadi satu teras utama dalam tugas-tugas seorang pensyarah. Sudah pastilah penyelidikan di Universiti yang multi disiplin ini meliputi hampir keseluruhan spektrum kegiatan manusia termasuklah sejarah, kebudayaan, sains, teknologi, pengajian Islam dan kesihatan. Hasil-hasil penyelidikan telah dibentang dalam berbagai-bagai persidangan, diterbitkan sebagai buku atau majalah-majalah dalam jurnal tempatan mahupun antarabangsa. Ada juga hasil penyelidikan yang berpotensi untuk kemajuan masyarakat.

Selain daripada peruntukan Universiti yang berjumlah RM1 juta setahun dan juga dana luar, UKM mulai 1988 telah memperolehi peruntukan dari program IRPA (Intensification Research in Priority Areas) dari pihak kerajaan untuk menjalankan penyelidikan dalam empat sektor iaitu sektor Pertanian, Industri, Perubatan dan Strategik. Di antara tahun 1988 hingga 1990, UKM telah memperolehi peruntukan sebanyak RM19,242,345 untuk 81 projek jangka panjang.

Bagi Rancangan Malaysia Keenam (1991-1995) UKM telah diperuntukkan sebanyak RM41,777,976 untuk keempat-empat sektor untuk tempoh tersebut ialah 360. Pencapaian projek penyelidikan di bawah program IRPA sangat memberangsangkan dan beberapa projek telah mula dikomersilkan.

Untuk menunjukkan iltizam yang bersungguh dari UKM terhadap aktiviti penyelidikan, pusat kecemerlangan (centres of excellence) telah ditubuhkan di peringkat Universiti seperti Institut Alam dan Tamadun Melayu (ATMA), Institut Alam Sekitar dan Pembangunan (LESTARI), Institut Kajian Masyarakat (IKMAS), Unit Penyelidikan Mutu Makanan dan Pusat Sistematik Serangga. Antara beberapa pusat kecemerlangan yagn sedang dalam perancangan adalah yang meliputi bidang pengajian strategik dan keselamatan, kajian polisi dan praktis percukaian, kajian kegagalan cerun dan gelinciran tanah dan juga di bidang termoplastik dan komposit.

UKM dijangka memperolehi peruntukan yang lebih besar dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ketujuh (1996-2000) dalam bidang penyelidikan. Oleh yang demikian untuk memastikan kelancaran perjalanan pengurusan penyelidikan di UKM di samping mendapat hasil yang maksimum, satu unit yang dinamakan Pengurusan Penyelidikan telah ditubuhkan. Fungsi unit ini ialah menyelaraskan segala urusan penyelidikan di UKM yang melibatkan laporan, urusan kewangan, latihan kepada penyelidik dan juga sebagai penghubung dengan pihak luar. Dengan kerjasama Biro Rundingan dan Kembangan, hasil-hasil penyelidikan yang berpotensi akan dikomersilkan.-Bernama

Order of Insects

Phasmatodea and Orthoptera

The Orthoptera (from the Greek orthos = "straight" and pteron = "wing") are an order of insects with paurometabolous or incomplete metamorphosis, including the grasshoppers, crickets and locusts. Many insects in this order produce sound (known as a "stridulation") by rubbing their wings against each other or their legs, the wings or legs containing rows of corrugated bumps. The tympanum or ear is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and katydids. These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals.

The Phasmatodea are an order of insects, whose members are variously known as stick insects (in Europe), walking sticks (in the United States of America), ghost insects and leaf insects (generally the family Phyliidae). The ordinal name is derived from the Greek "phasma" meaning an apparition or phantom, and refers to the resemblance of many species to sticks or leaves.

Coleoptera

Beetles are a group of insects which have the largest number of species. They are placed in the order Coleoptera, which means "sheathed wing" and contains more described species than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about twenty-five percent of all known life-forms

Lepidoptera

The order Lepidoptera is the one of the most speciose orders in the class Insecta and includes the butterflies, and moths .

Hemiptera-Cicada

Hemiptera is an order of insects, comprising around 80,000 species of cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and others, collectively known as the true bugs

A cicada is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the globe, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talent

Odonata

Odonata is an order of insects, encompassing dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odonata

Butterfly Park, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

One such attraction is the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, just a stone's throw from the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. The Butterfly Park houses more than 6,000 butterflies from 120 exotic species.

The park is an imitation of the butterfly's natural habitat. It includes more than 15,000 plants from 100 species that has been painstakingly landscaped to resemble a Malaysian rainforest atmosphere.

Contributing to the Butterfly Park's beautiful landscape is a uniquely designed hydro-pond built with a limestone path right in the centre. Surrounding this hydro-pond is a gazebo, commanding a breathtaking view.

Moth or butterfly? could someone differentiate between the moth and butterfly. both of them are lepidoptera





We can attract butterflies with a number of nectar producing plants. Butterflies prefer plants with large petals that provide a perch, though multiple small florets will also attract them. Butterflies are attracted to purple flowers, followed by yellows, pinks and whites.


life cycle and metamorphosis of Lepidoptera. too short, but too many steps.

There is a nursery and breeding area for the butterflies. The park includes both preserved and live specimens, totaling 1,230 species in all. Facilities include an informative insect museum.

There is also a souvenir shop near the exit selling lots of local handicrafts and framed butterflies and beetles. You can enjoy a glimpse of butterflies at this unique park!
