Tomcat insect hazard for humans

 

Insects Tomcat (also called Rove Beetle, read "Rove Beetle" or "Paederus littoralis [2]") or more recognizable as well as the Semai Ants, Ants Kayap or Charlie in Indonesia, is the main group of segmented animals (Arthropoda) that includes in a large family of beetles (Staphylinidae), mainly distinguished by the length of the protective cover of the wings ("sheathed wing"), which left more than half of their stomachs open.  

With more than 46,000 species in the thousands of generations, this group is the second largest family of beetles after the Curculionidae (actually beetles). This is an ancient group, with tomcat known fossil insects from the Triassic era, or destruction of Living Creatures on Earth, 200 million years ago.
Anatomy

As might be expected for a large family of beetles, there is considerable variation among species. Sizes range from 1 to 35 mm (1.5 inches), with most in the range of 2-8 mm, and the shape is generally elongated, with a few insects are oval tomcat. Its body is dark yellow at the top, bottom and abdomen dark head. In the beetle antennae are usually 11 segmented and filiform, with moderate clubbing in a few generations of beetles. Usually, the beetle is seen crawling in the area around the wings and hide it in one look more like ants. If disturbed it will raise the beetle abdomen portion to look like when jengking for frightening enemies.
Insects Tomcat Glance

Tomcat does not bite or sting. Tomcat will automatically discharge when in contact or collide with human skin. Gravity, Tomcat will also issue its toxic liquid at objects such as clothes, towels, or other objects. On certain types of insects, there is a liquid that supposedly stronger than cobra venom. Hemolimf fluids or toxin is referred to as aederin [3]. Insects Tomcat will automatically discharge the event of a collision with a touch of human skin or in person. It could also touch indirectly through towels, clothes or other equipment that is contaminated by toxic tomcat. 

 That is why, if it is exposed to an automatic dermatitis like bedspreads and its UBA Rampe, towels and equipment that was allegedly exposed to toxic tomcat needs to be cleaned. When in contact with this beetle crawling or sleeping, crushing or rubbing the body with a dirty finger will cause conjunctivitis and skin diseases are identified as excessive 'dermatitis linearis', 'aederus (Rove beetles / staphylinidae) dermatitis'.
