The hedge is sparse and deep,

The head flowers of the tree have not yet become shaded.

Fly into cauliflower nowhere to be found.

"Children rush to chase yellow butterflies,

Fly into cauliflower nowhere to be found. ”

Children running and chasing yellow butterflies,

But the yellow butterfly flew into the yellow canola bush,

Hide,

I can't find it at once.

Yellow butterflies fly into the rape bushes to avoid danger,

It embodies the natural characteristics of biological adaptation to the environment.

Poetry speaks of science

Biological adaptation to the environment refers to the characteristics of animals, plants, and microorganisms to survive by adapting themselves to environmental changes, which is a unique and universal phenomenon in nature, and is also the result of natural selection of biological evolution. There are three main manifestations of biological adaptation environment: imitation, warning color and protective color.

Mimesis refers to a state in which the outward shape of an organism develops during evolution that is unusually similar to that of other organisms or abiotic beings.
