Zeziphi izigcawu ezinetyhefu ezinjeni?
I-Oak i-processionary moth ezinjeni. Ngumbungu othi kamva ube linundu elingenabungozi. Iinwele zabo ezintle ezihlabayo ziyingozi kakhulu ebantwini nasezilwanyaneni. Ziqulethe i-nettle toxin thaumetopoein, ekhutshwa xa kudibene.
Izigcawu zeNgcuka ziyingozi kwaye zinetyhefu kwizilwanyana, kwanezilwanyana zasekhaya ezinjengezinja neekati. Ityhefu yesigcawu sengcuka ingabulala izinja neekati ukuba ayinyangwa ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo. Nangona kunjalo, gcinani engqondweni ukuba ubuthi babo buguqulelwe ikakhulu ukuze kukhubaze amaxhoba amancinci njengezinambuzane kunye nezilwanyana ezincinci ezinje ngamasele okanye iimpuku.
Kwenzeka ntoni xa inja itye isigcawu?
Ukuba inja yakho idla isigcawu, into yokuqala ekufuneka uyenzile kukufumanisa ukuba luhlobo luni na. Izigcawu zasekhaya azinabungozi, nangona ukulunywa kwazo kunokosuleleka. Nangona kunjalo, izigcawu ezinobuhlungu zinokubangela ukusabela kwaye zifuna ukhathalelo lwezilwanyana olukhawulezileyo.
Zeziphi izinambuzane eziyingozi kwizinja?
NaseJamani kukho izilwanyana zasendle ezinetyhefu ezinjeni. Ezi ziquka: iimbovane, iinyosi, oonomeva, oonomeva, amasele, amaxoxo eqhelekileyo, salamanders umlilo.
Yintoni enetyhefu kwaye ebulalayo kwizinja?
Ngokuqhelekileyo, imbewu yeziqhamo ezifana ne-cherries, i-apricots okanye i-plums inetyhefu. Zonke ziqulethe i-hydrocyanic acid, ethintela ukuphefumla kweseli emzimbeni wenja kwaye ibangele umonakalo ohlala njalo. Iimpawu zetyhefu yeprussic acid kukunyuka kwamathe, ukuhlanza, kunye nokuxhuzula.
Uyiqaphela ngokukhawuleza kangakanani ityhefu enjeni?
“Ngokuxhomekeke kwityhefu kunye nobungakanani betyhefu, ubuthi bunokubonwa kwangoko okanye kwiiyure ezimbalwa emva kokutyhefa. Nangona kunjalo, kukwakho neetyhefu ezimbalwa (umz. ityhefu yeempuku, i-thallium) ekunokubakho iintsuku ezimbalwa phakathi kwexesha lokulaliswa kunye nokuvela kweempawu zokuqala.
Ngaba Izinja Ziyakwazi Ukusinda Kwityhefu?
Unyango olukhawulezileyo, oluchanekileyo lonyango lwezilwanyana lunokuqinisekisa ukusinda kwesigulane kwiimeko ezininzi zetyhefu. Nangona kunjalo, unyango olunzulu kakhulu, oludla ixesha kunye nolubiza kakhulu luhlala luyimfuneko.
