Izicabucabu zamahhashi, zivame ukubizwa vampire izicabucabubabe nokudla okungafani nalutho olunye: badla omiyane besifazane, nabo, abondla ngegazi. Ngesikhathi kwenziwa ucwaningo olusha, ososayensi benza lokho okubizwa nge- "Frankenstein mosque", okwakukhona nezingxenye zomiyane abahlukahlukene. Kwavela ukuthi izicabucabu azinaki nje kuphela izisu ezibomvu zegazi zomiyane, kodwa futhi nezinduna zabesifazane lapho zikhetha isisulu sokuhlaselwa.
Esikhathini esedlule, ososayensi babekholelwa ukuthi izicabucabu zamahhashi zisabela kulokho okushukumisayo okuyisisekelo okubenza bazingele. Isibonelo, uma bebona into encane enyakazayo, bayithatha njengokuphanga nokuhlasela, kusho Ximena Nelson kusuka Inyuvesi yaseCanterbury, New Zealand.
Ucwaningo olusha luveze ukuthi lezi zicabucabu zikhetha kakhulu ekukhetheni kokudla kunokucabanga kwangaphambilini. Ukwenza isibonelo, uhlobo lwesicabucabu E. Ceicivora akazisebenzisi izisusa ezinjalo eziyisisekelo, indlela yakhe yokukhiqiza iyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, kusho uNelson.
Odla iziphandla
Isitsha esithandwayo sehhashi-spider singomiyane abagcwele igazi, noma omiyane. Njengoba kwenzeka, izicabucabu nazo zidinga igazi elisha ukuze ziphile, ososayensi bathi, yingakho wabizwa nge- "vampire."
Ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane ezidla izindwani zalezizicabucabu azikhanga kangako, mhlawumbe ngoba azondli ngegazi lama-vertebrates. Igazi liyingxenye ebalulekile yokudla kwalesi spider, yize abacwaningi abangaqiniseki kahle ukuthi kungani.
Ogwini lweLake Victoria ezingaseningizimu yeSahara e-Afrika, izicabucabu zizingela omiyane zize zisondele ebangeni elingamasentimitha ayi-2-3 ukusuka kubo, bese zigijimela kulowo ohlukunyeziwe. Abancane kunabo bonke besicabucabu bangaziphonsa ngomiyane futhi bazilume ngokundiza. Bawela phansi nesisulu, bese bedla inyamazane.
Sesha omiyane besifazane
Njengoba omiyane besifazane kuphela abondla ngegazi, izicabucabu zidinga ukufunda ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwabesilisa ngesikhathi sokuzingela. Omiyane besifazane bahlukile ngokubonakala kwabesilisa.
"Umuntu owazi lo mehluko futhi onamehlo amahle angahlukanisa kalula omiyane besifazane kwabesilisa. Ukuze wenze lokhu, vele ubheke" ukushisa "kwezintuthwane, - kusho uNelson. - Abesilisa banama-bristles amaningi kuma-antenna, ngakho-ke abukeka njenge- "shaggy" ngaphezulu.
Kungenzeka ukuthi izicabucabu ziphinde ziqaphele isisu esibomvu esiqhakazile, esenzeka kuphela kwabesifazane abasanda kudla ngegazi.
Ukuze baqonde ngqo ukuthi yiziphi izici ezithile zokubukeka komiyane abazinaka lapho bekhetha ilitshe, ososayensi bakha umiyane waseFrankenstein, owawuqukethe izingxenye ezihlukile zezidumbu zabesilisa nabesifazane (ngokwesibonelo, ikhanda nesifuba senye, isisu senye).
Babakhombisa lezi zidalwa eziyinqaba kwizicabucabu ukubona ukuthi bazosabela kanjani. Ososayensi bakubonile lokho izingxenye ezimbili zomzimba womiyane kuleli cala zidlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekukhetheni ukudla - isisu esikhulu esibomvu ne-antenna. Izicabucabu ziba mancane amathuba okuhlasela omiyane ngama-antennas angcono kunokuba "negeji" elilula, noma ngabe zombili zazinezimbali ezibomvu, ucwaningo lukhombisile.
