Sydney: As the sun clusters in the forests, fields and gardens of Australia, a burning world of the insects of the night comes alive. Most of the ecosystems, especially in the warm parts of the world, have insects activities at night. These nights play an important role in organisms ecosystems and provide services such as pollination, waste decomposition and insect control. Here are some important insects mentioned, which come out after dark. Let’s know why these insects are important.

Kites play an important role in the ecosystem

According to an estimate, around 22,000 species of kites are found in Australia and most of these (species) perform their activities at night, although some species of kites are active in the day and some morning and evening. Many species obtain food from flower juices using their long, ‘straw’ -like mouth organs and work to insert pollen between flowers before flying. Some kites eat food on many types of plants, while other kites have a highly specific relationship with some specific flowers.

Also know about kites

Kite larvae, ‘caterpillars’ also play an important role in the ecosystem. For example, the larvae of kites called ‘dirty’ eats dry leaves in leaf litter and hence it becomes necessary for the decomposition of hard, dried plants. If these kites do not destroy these organic substances with their hard work, then a pile of these leaves can be revealed as a problem for humans. Kites and their larvae provide fat and protein -rich food sources for many animals including humans.

Busy firefly at night

It is a magical experience to see the glowing lights of firefly dancing in the dark at night during the summer season. Jugnu is actually a lumpyide family’s pride and 25 of their species are found in Australia. Each species of fireflies uses its own specific lights to communicate with potential peers. When many firefighters of the same species gather, they can mix their light vibrations, which creates a attractive view. This specific light of fireflies arises through a biochemical reaction associated with a molecule named ‘Luciferin’ and an enzyme named ‘Luusifarej’. When firefly performs interaction in the presence of oxygen, the light is emitted.

Learn about leswings and mentisfly

Leswings and mentisfly ‘leswings’ belongs to an ancient group of insects (neuroptera), whose name is named due to a delicate mesh of veins on their wings. Most adults hunt at night and eat small insects using their hollow, scissors-shaped mouths to remove nutrients from their prey. Many ‘leswings’ species are effective insect control controls and are used in agriculture to manage pests such as ‘Aphids’ and ‘Milibs’. ‘Mantisfly’, known as ‘Mantisfly’, resembles a strange hybrid between Mantis and fly but is actually similar to ‘leswings’. The larvae of ‘Mantisfly’ have been rarely studied but most species are considered to be the predators of insects, although some eat spider eggs. ‘Mantisfly’ plays a role in controlling the population of insects by eating other insects.

Protection of pests is necessary at night

Artificial lights at night are causing severe disruption for insects working in the night shift. The insects often get confused and fly in the endless circle around the bright light and spend their energy, due to which they die. This tiredness caused by confusion can cause their death. Artificial lights at night can also disrupt the breeding of insects. Owls and bats etc. hunt around artificial lights, as their prey becomes more concentrated and weak in this type of light.

how can we help

Turn off unnecessary external lights at night, especially during summer when many insects are breeding. Using ‘motion activated’ lights to reduce light pollution and reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides in gardens. In order to keep our ecosystem healthy, small changes in protecting insects that work hard can bring a huge difference. (The Conversation)
