Katak bertanduk sumatera

Megophrys nasuta (Schlegel, 1858)

Megophrys nasuta from Curup, Rejang land, Bengkulu province, Sumatera Indonesia

Known as Kekek Betanduk in Rejang Land, this frog was discribe for first time by Schlegel in year 1858. He report about distribution in Borneo, Sumatera and peninsular malaya. But recently it is rare to find in nature. In taxonomy Schlegel named this frog as Malayan Horned Frog or Megophrys nasuta as ID. Synonim with Megophrys Montana. In Rejang Land many Amphibia need to research and make check list for inventaritation, but this way nobody do yet, so need hard work to tell the world about how rich biodiversity flora and fauna in rejang land.

Megophys nasuta have specific features that are different from other types of toads. The ‘horn’ is very wide and pointed, with triangular projection from the edge of both eyelids. The hind legs are shorter than the front legs and normally males are substantially smaller than females. The colour is light clay to reddish red with one or two dark spots on the back. Using its leaf-like appearance for camouflage, the Horned Toad is virtually undetectable in the leaf litter of the forest unless it moves. The animal is perfectly designed to fit in with its surrounding.

The Horned Toad lives in flat to steep rain forest where thick bamboo grows and the area is damp and cool. It is commonly found throughout Borneo, Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia. This frog have registered at IUCN red list 2009 as LC status and can read at link. Other picture or information about this frog can read in this blog at link and link. Admin

Pompelon marginata glenum from rejang land, Sumatra

•

This diurnal Zygaenid moth, Pompelon marginata has electric blue wings covering red underpart that shows proudly only when it flies. This signals its toxicity - it is a cyanogenic moth - manufacturing and storing the respiratory toxin hydrogen cyanide. Caterpillars of Zygaenid moths feed on cyanide containing plants and then went on to manufacture more on their own, exuding them in form of a yellow brown liquid form along its body when disturbed. Many species carry this toxin to their adulthood.

Fisrt time discribe as Pompelon marginata (Guerin, 1843), and than discribe subspecies found at south west sumatra (Rejang land present at south west sumatra) as Pompelon marginata glenum (Jordan 1907)
G.M Tarmann (A revision of Australian Zygaenidae) mentioned an interesting account in 1959 whereby a lady named Miriam Rothschild exposed 2 drops of such brown liquid on an open needle wound on her forearm. This liquid was obtained from a Burnet Moth, a relative from the temperate climate. This is what he said: "Almost immediately, sensations of breathlessness occured, associated with sweating and rapid pulse rate that increased to 120-130 beats per minute." The symptom persisted for several hours.
