Paederus riparius, or more popularly known as Tomcat, disturbing the public a number of areas. 7-8 mm sized insects paederin contain toxins that can cause itching and skin blisters in humans. Head of Agriculture and Forestry Government of Bantul regency, Yogyakarta, Edi Suhariyanta, saying that Tomcat erupted as a result of brown planthopper pests which attack the rice plant owned by farmers.
Tomcat is the brown plant hopper pest eaters so that when the food supply is abundant, Tomcat breed very quickly. "When the ecosystem is still awake, this insect will not seek a new habitat and live in rice fields," he said. That's also the reason why Tomcat is often just invaded a certain area. As in Yogyakarta, which is only found in a number of points with small farms. While the area south of Yogyakarta, which has vast agricultural land is still safe. "It is natural habitats shrink, then spread to residential," he said.
Edi said, Tomcat is not the enemy of man. Tomcat does not bite and release toxins only when squashed. "Tomcat is a friend of the farmer because the brown planthopper-eating pests are very detrimental to farmers," he said.
Head of Agriculture and Horticulture Department of Agriculture Government of Tuban, Sudarmudji, adding, Tomcat is a killer pest planthopper predators. "Tomcat is actually very beneficial to farmers because of their role exterminating aphis," he said.
