A small insect you haven't seen before - the scorpion

蝜蝂(fu ban)

This insect carrying things is estimated that people who lived in the countryside before the 80s have seen it, we call it "poor pick-up", when I was young, I would occasionally see it on the country road or field, because this insect crawled very slowly and ugly, so I didn't dare to touch it with my hands, just take a small branch or leaf, play with it, pull off the messy things on its back, after getting rid of it, the bugs will suck some insects or grass blades smaller than themselves in the process of slow walking, which feels very magical. But at that time there was no related shooting equipment saved, and now it is not easy to find estimates, the New Year home suddenly thought of this magical bug, so I searched on the Internet, from the appearance and habits, it should be the legendary scorpion.

The scorpion likes to suck the surrounding things on the back during the crawling process, the crawl itself is very slow, the speed of carrying more and more things on the body is almost a few seconds to move a small step, the cockroach itself is not so bloated, the impression is that the head is a little larger than the ant, the two antennae are indeed very long, the neck is relatively thin, the body is earth yellow or similar to the earth gray, the body is a bit like the earth turtle, but it is more fragile than the earth turtle, the body is very soft, in the countryside field or near the mountain road, if you do not look carefully, you can not see that it is a bug to climb again, It's like a bunch of very small weeds, so even many people in the countryside don't necessarily know that this bug exists, whether it's carrying something or nothing, it's a half-dead look.

Liu Zongyuan's "Biography of the Scorpion" says that the "scorpion" is a small insect that loves to carry things. When crawling when encountering things, always grab them and lift their heads to carry these things. Things get heavier and heavier, even if they are very tired. It is indeed a very magical insect, it is said that it is now extinct, but I believe that many rural areas will still have it, and when the spring flowers bloom, I will look for it again in the fields of my hometown. Be sure to get the evidence back this time!
