6.5 Reproduction The sexual reproduction of the Microcentrum rhombifolium occurs. To attract females, males make loud, buzzing cries using their wings. The couple will mate once a female answer to the male's call, with the male donating sperm to the female. The female will lay her eggs after mating, which she will place in a row on plant stems or twigs using her ovipositor. Each egg is placed separately and is surrounded by a foamy fluid that solidifies and creates a protective coating around the egg. During many weeks, the female may lay several dozen eggs.
The Microcentrum rhombifolium's eggs usually hatch, with the nymphs emerging from the protective shell and beginning to feed on plants. During several months, the nymphs will go through a series of moults, losing their exoskeletons as they grow and mature into adults. As the nymphs reach adulthood, they will mate and start the reproductive cycle all over again. Furthermore, this species only has one generation once a year.
6.6 Life Cycle Egg Stage: Microcentrum rhombifolium 's life cycle begins with the female producing eggs. The eggs are frequently placed on twigs or other nearby surfaces. The eggs are spherical, tiny, and brownish in hue. When the weather warms up, they usually hatch. Nymph Stage: The nymphs emerge once the eggs hatch. Nymphs resemble adults in appearance but are smaller and lack wings. They moult multiple times as they grow, losing their exoskeleton and creating wings gradually. During this stage, they graze on plant debris and moult roughly 7 times before reaching adulthood. The nymph stage lasts many months on average.
Adult Stage:After going through multiple moulting phases, the nymphs attain maturity. The Microcentrum rhombifolium is a huge, green insect with long antennae and broad, leaf-like wings as an adult. It can fly and generate a loud chirping sound by rubbing its wings together. The adult stage lasts many weeks, during which the katydid mates and lays eggs, completing the life cycle.

8.0 Conclusion Overall, the kingdom Animalia also plays a big role for humans. This is because, they provide many benefits to human life. Among its importance is to be a food source in terms of protein such as chicken, fish and so on. In addition, ensuring ecosystem services. For example, being a natural pest controller and spreading seeds. Therefore, humans need to preserve and conserve animals for future well-being.
