You can never guess the creator's thoughts ~ there are always some species in nature that you can't imagine...
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > Katie caterpillar</h1>
There is such a caterpillar... It may have an ulterior motive with Hello Kitty...
Meow meow ~ say bad things about me?
What the hell is going on with this caterpillar that looks like a meow? You have to ask about this butterfly. It's not a butterfly, it's a rice-eyed butterfly.
Rice-eyed butterfly
In fact, the meow caterpillar (the name I coined) is the larvae of the rice-eyed butterfly.
Rice eye butterfly is a common rice pest, which is distributed in Henan, shaanxi, sichuan and yunnan provinces in China. Because its larvae grew Hello Kitty's face, it was loved by many Japanese people as soon as it became popular. Hence the name: Katie Caterpillar.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > giraffe weevil</h1>
There is such a small beetle... Long, long neck...
Giraffes: So, are we relatives?
In contrast, its body appears small. Hence the name: Giraffe Weevil!
When the goods were first discovered, scientists thought the long, iconic neck was used to help get food. however...... After research, it was found that this antenna baby antenna is used for courtship battles to win the hearts of female weevils!
The screen of the peacock, the antlers of the horns, and now even the neck can be used as a weapon, right? The Creator's imagination is also too rich!
Male necks are usually 2-3 times longer than females (well, female peacocks also don't have long, pretty tails). In addition, the long neck of the male also carries another important role - nesting.
Giraffe weevils are currently only found in Madagascar. Most giraffe weevils have a red shell, although they are fierce in appearance and posture, but in fact, this small insect does not have much lethality.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > tsubaki elephant</h1>
In fact, it is very common, we usually say: stink bugs, stinky big sisters.
However, it cannot be ignored that in the case of the family Homophoridae... There are about 5,000 species in the world. This makes it sometimes possible to see tsubaki like this:
Akahoshi Tsubakizo
Can't see anything special? Take a top view: o△o
even...... The eyes, nose, mouth and hairstyle... Are you a fan of Elvis Presley?
Why is such a cute little worm called "Stinky Big Sister"?
The reason is that Tsubaki generally has a gland in its body, and when it is attacked, it will spray a "pulse bomb" from the gland in the abdomen to scare off the attacker. Usually, it is accompanied by a sound when the venom of the Tsubaki elephant gland is squirted out.
Tsubaki larvae and adults feed on the tissue fluid of plants. For the host, it is a pest that is quite harmful.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > longan chicken</h1>
The name is a bit hilarious, but it looks good. Like a little girl in a flower dress
Long red pecks, big colorful wings. It is an insect that feeds on sap. Because it mainly sucks the sap of longan and lychee, when it encounters danger, it will bounce and fly away (like a frightened chicken), so it is named: longan chicken.
Although the appearance is high, it is a big pest for the trees they are eyeing. Its slender pecking can pierce the bark to suck up sap, and when it is large, it will weaken the tree, dry out the branches, and even make the fruit tree fall fruit. Longan chicken excrement can also cause coal pollution in trees. The harm is really not a star and a half. Helplessly, the longan chicken's bouncing ability is too good, the reaction is fast, and it is not easy to catch them.
Isn't this beautiful little bug of any benefit?
neither! In the eyes of some foodies, they are a nutritious meal! After frying or pretzel, fill a large basin and sweep it away
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > ant bee</h1>
Don't get me wrong, it's "bees" not "ants". Although it is very similar to an ant, the English velvet ant literal translation is also "velvet ant". But it's a real bee.
Female bees are like large, long-haired ants, and the hair comes in a variety of colors: yellow, orange, red, white, and black.
Male and female bees are well distinguished, as only females have no wings. So when in danger, male wasps can easily escape by their wings.
In contrast to male bees, females can only move on the ground. The appearance is also conspicuous, so the female ant bee is easy to attract danger?
Female ant bees are not easy to mess with, and the conspicuous and beautiful color is the "warning color" they give to other animals. If an unknown predator tries to prey on an ant bee, they will immediately learn to behave after they have tasted the pain. After all, the ant bee is in the top five in the sting pain rankings.
Finally, I would like to introduce you to a beautiful insect like a flower...
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > orchid mantis</h1>
Take a closer look... Not really petals!
It is a beautiful mimetic mantis whose steps have evolved to resemble petal-like structures and colors. Compared with females, males are extremely short, adult females are about 6 to 7 cm long, while males are only about 2.5 cm long.
They are produced in the tropical rainforest of Malaysia, different species of orchids will grow with different orchid mantises, they have the most perfect camouflage, and they can also adjust the color of their bodies according to the shade of the flower color.
Most orchid mantises are white, and some orchid mantises vary between pink and purple. The orchid praying mantis not only perfectly simulates the shape of orchid petals, but even has a more vivid color than normal orchid petals.
When a small insect is confused by the charming gesture of the orchid praying mantis and approaches the beautiful "flower", there is almost no possibility of escape.
