Question

Tomcat insects, scientifically called Paederus littoralis, are the main group of Arthropoda, which are included in the large family of beetles. The tomcat in English is often called the Rove Beetle. This type of beetle includes the family of Staphylinidae. Paederus fiscipes is a type of beetle that belongs to the Paederus genus. In total, there are around 12 species that are classified into the genus. With more than 46,000 species in thousands of generations, this group is the second largest family of beetles after Curculionidae.

The characteristics of these insects are the black head, the chest and abdomen, that are orange, and bluish wings. The striking colours serve as a warning to predators, attempting to scare others by showing that these insects have poisons. Sizes range from 1 to 35 mm, with most in the range 2-8 mm, and the shape is generally elongated, while some tomcat insects are oval like eggs.

Tomcats usually live in rice fields. During the day, these insects are very good at finding prey in the form of planthoppers and other rice pests. At night, these insects will be very active. For this reason, they will mostly follow bright light. Usually, these beetles are seen crawling in the surrounding area, hiding the wings. If they feel disturbed or threatened, these beetles will raise the abdomen so that they look like scorpions to scare the enemy.

Tomcat insects have poisons that are harmful to humans. The spread of toxins is not through bites, (unlike mosquitoes, ants, or other insects) since tomcats do not bite. If your body or skin is exposed to the poisons, they will cause a wound that feels as if it's burning and will be very dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent these animals from approaching and touching our skin.

A. are carnivores
B. bite their enemy
C. are active at night
D. eat leaves and grass
E. are as dangerous as scorpions
