| Abstract: | Sphex argentatus, atau tawon penggali, berfungsi sebagai predator dan
penyerbuk yang bermanfaat bagi pertanian. Namun, kehadirannya di area yang
penting secara estetika seperti lapangan golf dapat mengganggu karena perilaku
bersarangnya yang membuat lubang untuk bertelur dapat merusak lapangan dan
mengganggu permainan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati perilaku S.
argentatus dan gangguan yang ditimbulkannya di lapangan golf Sentul Highlands
di Bogor, Jawa Barat, menggunakan metode observasi selama sepuluh hari di dua
hole yang telah diidentifikasi sebelumnya. Pengamatan mengungkapkan bahwa S.
argentatus betina akan menggali lubang, dan kadang-kadang pergi mencari
makanan untuk larva mereka. Sebaliknya, jantan tidak membuat lubang tetapi terus
mencari area tersebut untuk peluang kawin. Lubang yang digali oleh betina
memiliki kedalaman sekitar 11-36 cm. Aktivitas terlama yang diamati melibatkan
betina berburu belalang, berlangsung antara 9 hingga 178.5 menit. Penelitian ini
menyoroti peran ekologis S. argentatus sambil membahas dampaknya terhadap
estetika dan fungsionalitas lapangan golf. Sphex argentatus, or the digger wasp, serves as both a predator and pollinator beneficial to agriculture. However, its presence in aesthetically significant areas like golf courses can be disruptive due to its nesting behavior, which involves creating holes for egg-laying that mar the green and disrupt gameplay. This study aimed to observe S. argentatus behavior and the disturbances it causes at the Sentul Highlands golf course in Bogor, West Java, using observational methods over ten days across two pre-identified holes. Observations revealed that female S. argentatus primarily dug holes, occasionally leaving to forage for food for their larvae. In contrast, males did not create holes but continuously searched the area for mating opportunities. The holes dug by females measured approximately 11-36 cm deep. The longest observed activity involved females hunting grasshoppers to provision their nests, lasting between 9 to 178.5 minutes. This study highlights the ecological role of S. argentatus while addressing its impact on golf course aesthetics and functionality. |
