Today Laizi brings a new little friend
- Huang Yuanying! Come on!
Let's walk into the firefly family
- Huang Yuanying's world
Discover the secrets of Huang Yuanying
Walk! Let's go!
Hello everyone!
I'm Huang Yuanying
Finally, it's my turn to show you
I'm not the same as Phnom Penh window fireflies and trilobite fireflies
I'm an aquatic firefly
It was born and raised near the water
Compared to the huge number of species of terrestrial brothers
We're the treasures of the firefly family
My chest and back plate are orange-yellow
The wing sheath is black
There are yellowish fringes between the two wing sheaths
So
Everyone calls me Huang Yuanying
I lived in the long year when I was a child
The water is clear and the bottom is muddy
moreover
I was in my childhood
I use the gills of my trachea to breathe
(Isn't it unique?) ）
I like to eat all kinds of snails and shellfish in the paddy fields
It also preys on dead tadpoles, frogs,
Earthworms and all kinds of meat
Have a habit of eating together
My brother is much brighter than I am
Because it has two luminaires
And I only have one section
When we grow up, I'm out of the water
A pupal chamber for pupation was constructed ashore
We as adults
There are only about ten days left to live
Now I'm flying on Tiantai Mountain
Come and play with me in the Tiantai Mountain Zhengtiantai area!
But
Please don't shine a flashlight on me
I'll hide
Precautions for firefly appreciation
1. It is strictly forbidden to catch fireflies.
2. When appreciating fireflies, remember to turn off the light source, watch in the dark, you really need a flashlight, headlamp to illuminate the road, please consciously cover the red plastic bag or red cloth (red light has less interference with fireflies).
3. Please watch the fireflies quietly, do not make noise, and do not walk around in the grass so as not to disturb them.
4. If you need to take pictures, it is best to use a professional camera, go up the mountain early in the evening, and adjust the composition while the light is still good.
5. Choose a sunny day to watch fireflies, as the humid air on rainy days will hinder fireflies from spreading their wings and affecting their luminescence.
6. Try to wear long-sleeved tops and long pants to prevent mosquitoes, mosquito repellent water also has an effect on fireflies.
