Umdlali omtsha, uJoro the Spider, uvele eqongeni phakathi kokulila kweecicadas. Ngombala wazo otyheli oqaqambileyo kunye nobude bemilenze yazo obuziisentimitha ezine, ezi arachnids kunzima ukuziphosa. Nangona zibonakala zisoyikeka, izigcawu zeChoro, nangona zinobuthi, azisoyikisi ngokwenene ebantwini okanye kwizilwanyana zasekhaya.…
Uhlobo olukhulu, olunemibala eqaqambileyo oluhlaselayo olubizwa ngokuba yiChoro spider lufudukela kulo lonke elase-United States. Inani labemi belikhula kwiindawo ezithile zaseMazantsi naseMpuma Coast kangangeminyaka, kwaye abaphandi abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba lixesha nje ngaphambi kokuba lusasazeke kwiindawo ezininzi zelizwekazi lase-United States.
“Ndicinga ukuba abantu bayazithanda izinto ezingaqhelekanga nezimangalisayo nezinokuba yingozi,” utshilo uDavid Nelson, uprofesa webhayoloji kwiYunivesithi yaseSouthern Adventist oye wafunda ngokwanda kwesigcawu seChoro. “Yenye yezinto ezigcina lonke uloyiko loluntu luvaliwe.”
Isigcawu iChoro, isigcawu esikhulu esihlala eMpuma Asia, sakha ulwelwe lwaso eJohns Creek, eGeorgia, nge-24 ka-Okthobha 2021. Amanani olu hlobo ebekhula kwiindawo ezithile zaseMazantsi naseMpuma Coast kangangeminyaka, kwaye abaphandi abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba yingxaki yexesha ngaphambi kokuba zisasazeke kwiindawo ezininzi zelizwekazi lase-United States.
Kunoko, izazinzulu zixhalabile ngokusasazeka kweentlobo zezityalo ezihlaselayo ezinokutshabalalisa izityalo zethu nemithi yethu—ingxaki eyanda ngenxa yorhwebo lwehlabathi kunye notshintsho lwemozulu, nto leyo eyenza iimeko zendalo zasekuhlaleni ezazingenakwenzeka ngaphambili ukuba ziphile ebusika obubandayo zibe mnandi ngakumbi.
“Ndicinga ukuba le yenye yeentlobo ze-'canary in the coal mine' ezibalaseleyo nezifumana ingqalelo eninzi,” ucacisa uHannah Berrack, uprofesa kunye nosihlalo wecandelo le-entomology kwiYunivesithi yaseMichigan State. Kodwa izilwanyana ezinamahloni azibangeli bungozi buthile ebantwini. Endaweni yoko, izinambuzane ezingaqhelekanga ezifana neempukane zeziqhamo kunye ne-woodworms zinokubangela umonakalo omkhulu, utshilo uBurak.
“Le yingxaki yehlabathi kuba yenza kube nzima ukulawula yonke into esiyenzayo kwicandelo lokusingqongileyo, imveliso yezolimo kunye nempilo yabantu,” utshilo.
ISpider Choro yakha iwebhu, nge-27 kaSeptemba 2022, eAtlanta. Iingcali zeSpider zithi ijaji lisaphumile malunga nempembelelo eziya kuba nayo ezi Spider xa zifika kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zelizwe, kunye nokuba ezi zidalwa zifanelekile na ukuchola ibhotile yeRaid.
Zivela eMpuma Asia, ziza ngemibala eqaqambileyo etyheli nemnyama kwaye zinokukhula zibe ziisentimitha ezintathu ubude xa imilenze yazo iluliwe ngokupheleleyo.
Nangona kunjalo, kunzima ukuzibona ngeli xesha lonyaka njengoko zisekwinqanaba lokuqala lobomi bazo kwaye zilingana nokhozo lwerayisi kuphela. Iliso eliqeqeshweyo lisenokubona inethi engangebhola ethambileyo everanda okanye imisonto yegolide ezigubungela ngayo ingca. Iibhungane ezindala zixhaphake kakhulu ngo-Agasti nangoSeptemba.
UDavid Coyle, uprofesa oncedisayo kwiYunivesithi yaseClemson, uthe izazinzulu zisazama ukuyifumana le nto. UCoyle usebenzisana noNelson kuphando lweeNtaba zeChoro olwapapashwa ngoNovemba. Abemi bazo abaphakathi bahlala ikakhulu eAtlanta, kodwa badlulela eCarolinas nakumzantsi-mpuma weTennessee. UCoyle uthe inani leesatellite liye landa eBaltimore kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo.
Ngokuphathelele ukuba olu hlobo lwezilwanyana luya kuxhaphaka nini eMntla-mpuma, uphando lwabo lucebisa ntoni ekugqibeleni? “Mhlawumbi kulo nyaka, mhlawumbi kwiminyaka elishumi ukususela ngoku, asazi ngokwenene,” utshilo. “Mhlawumbi abayi kufezekisa lukhulu kunyaka omnye. Kuya kuba luthotho lwamanyathelo alandelelanayo.”
Iintsana zingakwazi: Zisebenzisa icebo elibizwa ngokuba yi-“ballooning”, izigcawu ezincinci ze-choro zingasebenzisa ii-webs zazo ukusebenzisa imimoya yomhlaba kunye nemisinga ye-electromagnetic ukuhamba imigama emide. Kodwa awuyi kubona isigcawu se-Choro esikhulileyo sibhabha.
ISpider Choro sakha iwebhu, nge-27 kaSeptemba 2022, eAtlanta. Nangona abantu abaninzi bexhalabile ukuba izigcawu zinokubhabha, ngabantwana kuphela abanokubhabha: besebenzisa icebo elibizwa ngokuba yi-"ballooning", izigcawu zeChoro ezincinci zinokusebenzisa iiwebhu zazo ukusebenzisa imimoya yomhlaba kunye nemisinga ye-electromagnetic ukuhamba imigama emide.
Izigcawu zeChoro zitya nantoni na eziyibambayo kwiwebhu yazo, uninzi lwazo zizinambuzane. Oku kuthetha ukuba ziya kukhuphisana nezigcawu zasekuhlaleni ngokutya, kodwa oko kusenokungabi yinto embi kangako—u-Andy Davis, isazinzulu sophando kwiYunivesithi yaseGeorgia, ubhale ngokwakhe ukuba ukutya okubanjwa yiChoro imihla ngemihla nako kondla iintaka zasekuhlaleni.
Ngokuphathelele amathemba abanye ababukeli okuba izigcawu ze-choro ziya kutya i-lanternfly enamabala etshabalalisa imithi kunxweme oluseMpuma? Zisenokutya kancinci, kodwa amathuba okuba zibe nefuthe kuluntu "ayinanto," utshilo uCoyle.
UNielsen uthe izigcawu zeChoro, njengazo zonke izigcawu, zinobuthi, kodwa azibulali okanye azibalulekanga kangako kwezonyango ebantwini. Okubi kakhulu, ukulunywa yiJoro kunokubangela ukurhawuzelelwa okanye i-allergy. Kodwa esi sidalwa sineentloni sidla ngokubaphepha abantu.
Ngenye imini, ingozi yokwenyani ebantwini iya kuvela ekungenisweni ngokubanzi kwezinye izinto eziphilayo, ezifana ne-ash borer okanye i-fruit fly ebizwa ngokuba yi-spotted wing drosophila, ezisongela izixhobo zendalo esixhomekeke kuzo.
“Ndizama ukuba nobuchule kwezesayensi. Le yindlela yokuzikhusela kwintlungu. Kodwa kukho umonakalo omkhulu owenzeka kwindalo esingqongileyo kwihlabathi liphela ngezizathu ezahlukeneyo, uninzi lwawo lubangelwa ngabantu,” ucacisa uDavis. “Kum, lo ngomnye umzekelo wempembelelo yabantu kwindalo esingqongileyo.”
