This insect has a nickname called "water mosquito", which means a "mosquito" walking on the surface of the water, but this "mosquito" is not a blood-sucking mosquito, but looks like a mosquito, relying on the "water floating" kung fu of the world, and can crawl rapidly on the surface of the water, such as walking on the ground.
They are the water we are going to talk about today, aliases: water horse, jellyfish, water bench, water grasshopper, fire fork, water tank, water reptile, mother-in-law, water monk, water soybean oil and so on. What is the value of this worm?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > first, the scientific research value of the "water floating" kung fu of the water weasel. </h1>
I believe that people who see this insect for the first time have a question in their hearts, why does this insect simply and easily achieve "floating on the water" on the surface of the water, crawling or jumping on the surface of the water like walking on the ground?
It's like the gecko's ability to climb the wall, relying on the suction cups on the grab, and being able to crawl on the wall like a flat track. According to its own body structure, the water mole has evolved the function of "floating on the water" in the evolution of nature.
The water shrew is an aquatic hemiptera insect, the family Ofored, slender and light body, with 3 pairs of feet, the forefoot is obviously shorter, used for predation, the middle and hind feet are very slender, covered with grease fine hairs, with a waterproof effect. When stretched out in all directions, the hairs on the tarsals allow them to move very quickly on the surface of the water with the help of surface tension without sinking. The ventral surface of the body is covered with a layer of extremely fine silver-white short hairs, which are silvery-white and velvet-like in appearance, which has a water-repellent effect. Their torso is very slender, with very fine hairs distributed on the trunk, which are water-weary.
In our ordinary people's cognition, all parts of the body of the water ferret basically have a waterproof effect. This is also why people can't use water to wet the water and drown the water weasel. These tiny hairs distributed in various parts of the body have a water repellent effect, so it can be said that the water is crawling on the water, just like the gecko walking on the wall, like a person walking idly on land. Researchers have found that the reason why the water shrew can float on the surface of the water is the special micro and nano structure of its legs.
When researchers noticed that small aquatic insects common in lakes, ponds, paddy fields and wetlands had special skills in floating on water, they found that the water weasel had great scientific research value. These studies have found that humans invented airplanes based on the flying attitude of dragonflies. People will also show the superhydrophobic characteristics of the water ferret legs found from the water ferret, use the design of new miniature water vehicles, as well as the production of new waterproof textiles, and even in the near future, human water walking, so that human beings can walk idly on the water is not possible.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, the water shrew is not only a "water quality inspector", but also a "water scavenger", which is of great significance to the ecological environment. </h1>
The waters in which the waters can live, at least show that this water is not polluted and the water quality is excellent. Once a body of water is polluted by human activities, such as industrial pollution and chemical waste pollution, then the water with poor water quality cannot survive and will disappear without a trace.
For example, when I played in the wetlands of the local park, I found that there were groups of water moles on the surface of the water, indicating that the water quality of this area was excellent. Therefore, the water mole has long been awarded the title of "water quality inspector".
Water shrews also have the title of "water scavengers", which is related to their food sources. The water mole will not only eat the dead fish and rotten shrimp on the surface of the water, promote excellent water quality, but also eat the eggs laid by mosquitoes on the appendages in the water, reducing the number of mosquitoes, which can be regarded as beneficial insects.
Of course, the water cockroach is also called the name of the water spider, not because it looks like a spider, but also because they have very sensitive organs on their legs, they can feel the subtle struggle fluctuations of the insects that fall into the water, just like the nearby water surface is its "spider web", and the subtle changes in the stubs cannot escape their feelings. Relying on this special ability, they can quickly find small insects and insects that fall into the water for food. This ability can also be regarded as a veritable water spider.
This kind of ecological habit of the water weasel makes them a veritable "water quality inspector" and "water scavenger", which is of great significance for the balance of the local ecological environment.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, water mole also has certain medicinal value. </h1>
Since ancient times, people have found that water weeds also have certain medicinal properties. Salty taste, cold, used for malaria, hemorrhoids, medicinal use in accordance with medical advice, pregnant women are contraindicated. In the "Materia Medica", it is recorded: "Poisonous. In the "Outline of The Collected Remains", it is recorded: "Cure hemorrhoids." In the Chinese "Chinese Medicinal Animal Chronicle", it is recorded: "Antimalarial. Malaria treatment. "It can be seen that under the use of traditional Chinese medicine, there are still good medicinal values."
It can be seen that it looks like a mosquito, can walk idly on the water, and the "water floating" kung fu is unique in the world, which seems inconspicuous, not only has important scientific research value, but also has ecological balance and good medicinal value. These values are all beneficial to human beings, so everyone should love them!
