In the middle of last month, I got the "Insects" of "Jean-Henri Fabre", but I had a poor mental state recently, and I turned a few pages and did not continue, and yesterday I stayed up all day and stayed up half an all night and finally nibbled it. I really read this book late! Personally, I think this is a book that children's parents should read to them during childhood.
As the author says, "The vastness of the world is an inexhaustible school." If a person really has passion in his blood, then he will be a primary school student in this school of the world for the rest of his life. "I have roughly sorted out the main points in the book, only for friends who are interested in natural objects and are reluctant to spend time reading books.
<h1>scarab</h1>
He has a low IQ, is stoic in the face of trouble, and never asks his peers for help. They dig nests in the middle of the dung balls, where they lay eggs and hatch. In the process of carrying the dung balls, they robbed each other unscrupulously. The length of the intestines is amazing, the digestive system is unique, and it can be eaten and digested around the clock for two weeks.
<h1>Cockroaches</h1>
Habit of living alone, robbery, habits of cruelty. He has excellent architectural talents and is passionate about decorating the hive with shiny stones and snail shells. Eggs are laid after food is prepared for the larvae, and the prey is mainly smaller caterpillars.
First anesthetize them with a chelating needle and place 5 to 10 strips in a room. The eggs are then hung on the roof, and after hatching, the larvae can be hung upside down from the ceiling, head down, to find the caterpillars to feed, and if the prey attacks, the larvae can quickly withdraw through the lifting ropes.
<h1>Red herding ants</h1>
Not good at feeding offspring, and don't know how to find food. Recognition of the way is not by smell, but by sight, and by the memory of the place. There is no sense of direction, only to remember where you have been.
(But even if stone bees are taken a few kilometers away, they won't get lost in unfamiliar airspace, an ability that only a handful of animals possess, while humans don't.) Except for social insects such as bees and ants, other insects only show love when feeding larvae, and other times only think of themselves.
<h1>French tarantula</h1>
Most spiders can see clearly during the day and at night, just like cats. The French tarantula does not reserve food for its offspring, but simply fills its stomach with prey it catches. Hunting for a living, attacking the nerves of the brain, so that the prey is killed instantly. Its venom is effective not only against insects, but also dangerous for other animals, poisoning sparrows and moles.
<h1>Wall mud bees</h1>
Lonely by nature, extremely afraid of cold, can only live in a warm place, according to the degree of blackening of the fireplace to determine which houses are suitable for their own living. The larvae can grow at temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius. Like to drift, usually will build a nest alone, from generation to generation. The nest lacks cohesion and collapses easily in case of water.
<h1>longicorn</h1>
The ox has to work in the tree for three years, and the larvae do not need to find food, because it feeds on wood and makes its home here. The larvae are deaf, have no sense of smell, have a sense of taste and touch, but are sluggish. Muscle strength is concentrated in the front of the body, and the last foot does not help the larvae to crawl. It crawls with the help of the back and abdomen.
When Tianniu grew up, he looked strong and powerful, but he couldn't actually get out of the trunk of the tree on his own. The larvae have powerful drill bits and superior insight. It prepares escape passages for the adults in advance to avoid dying in the room they have dug out, and after the larva becomes a pupa, its head must be facing the opening of the hole, so that the adults will not die in the pupae because they cannot flip freely.
<h1>cicada</h1>
The Nymph Cave of cicadas is a waiting room. Use to rest and learn about the weather outside. They use urine to wet the dust, stir it into mud, and attach it to the tunnel wall to reinforce it so as not to cause a landslide.
The feathering of the cicada begins in the middle chest, and the whole process takes about half an hour. After a 2-hour break in light and heat, the body color changes begin, a process that also takes only half an hour. During the molting process, it needs to be fixed to a branch, first turning the heel backwards, and then returning to the original position. If you can't keep your head up or find something to grab, feathering won't happen and it will die.
<h1>mantis</h1>
Habits are fierce, better than spiders. Like cannibals, even if they are surrounded by locusts that they love to eat, they will eat each other. On mating day, at most the next day, the male mantis will be nibbled by the female partner from the back of the head, slowly eating clean, leaving only wings. Male mantises do not stop mating until the abdomen where the genitals are eaten. The female praying mantis commits herself to each of her lovers and then continues to eat them.
<h1>Negative burial armor</h1>
Field scavenger, gravedigger, mortician. It will bury dead insects in pits dug on the spot. When the body decays, it is food for the larvae, and the body is buried to raise offspring.
The bearers will help each other, work together to bury the body and then leave silently, leaving only the landlord and his wife to stay in the cemetery to dispose of the body, pluck the hair, peel the skin and so on. Of course, they also suffer from parasites such as leather mites and nibbles. In order to end their surviving lives in old age, they would end the lives of their companions with each other.
(So far, only two insect fathers have been seen working for their children's futures: the dung beetle digging the dung in the pit and the funeral bearer's armor that cleans the body.)
<h1>Green Bush Ant</h1>
Nighttime killer, attacking prey that is much stronger than himself. Likes to pounce on sleeping cicadas and other prey that is not protected by hard armor. It is a fanatical carnivore, and after sucking blood and eating meat, it will also drink some fruity sweet pulp, or eat some grass blades. The male ant drills under the female partner to complete the mating and discharge of the sperm packet, and the female ant will slowly eat the sperm bag.
<h1>cricket</h1>
Crickets are right-handed, with the right wing pressed against the left wing, and the two large adjacent areas on the wings are the mirror membrane of the songbird, their sounder. If you start with a nymph and artificially change the order of the wings to become left-handed, the cricket will still return the shoulders that have matured and hardened to the correct position.
Female crickets have a violent temper and often beat their cricket fathers after giving birth to sperm packets. Even if the male cricket can escape the hands of the female companion, it will soon die. If it lives a single life, it will be particularly long-lived instead.
<h1>Peacock silkworm moth</h1>
Marriage is the ultimate goal of their lives, and they appear in the form of moths for the sake of racial continuation. He was an unparalleled hunger striker who never needed to eat. Courtship and mating time is only two or three nights, after which you will die. Although the night is dark for us, the male moth can see the female moth in the faint light. It has not been possible to determine that they rely on light, sound smells and radios to transmit information.
<h1>Flower golden turtle</h1>
Eat no petals or leaves, just a little nectar. The flower golden turtles that appeared in the same year in the century were two different generations. The eggs hatch after twelve days, and the larvae complete metamorphosis a year later. Placing the larvae on the table, it will walk on its back, and the six legs have almost no function, but they are very valuable building tools. The organs that the larvae use to produce cement are the intestines. It accumulates feces to build houses.
<h1>Mediterranean yellow scorpion</h1>
After the wedding, the groom is eaten by the bride. The embryos conceived by female scorpions take more than a year to mature, which is rare even in higher animals. The female scorpion in labor is cruel and greedy, gentle and kind to the newborn. The scorpion mating posture is similar to that of a locust, and the male fails to escape in time and will be killed and eaten by the lover. The chestnut that produces pleasure is also a trap.
<h1>Big fireflies</h1>
Female fireflies cannot enjoy the pleasure of flight and remain larval for life. The Great Firefly is a carnivorous, hunter, and rather vicious. They have a pair of tiny tubes on their jaws that can inject venom into their prey. The prey of the larval stage is mainly snails, first inject each other with an anesthetic, some kind of digestive juice is also injected into the snail's body, the snail beef will become a thin porridge, melt into a liquid, they will drink the broth.
The large firefly luminescent organ is located in the last three segments of the abdomen. The luminescent apparatus is innervated by the respiratory organs and is the result of some oxidation reaction. Adult female fireflies have bright bands of light. Dim taillights are available to all large fireflies and will suddenly extinguish or quickly dim due to mood swings. Their eggs can also shine, females don't have a little maternal love, and fireflies don't know what affection is.
