The Insect Leptocorisa Oratorius (Bug) of Aceh

I found this pest in my village, close to my uncle's rice field, at that time I was looking at the harvest of rice that failed this year's harvest. Because the number of Leptocorisa Oratorius is on the farmland of the local community in the village where I live.
