People stay in the house
"People staying in the hands" is protection: protecting plants, protecting green, protecting nature, protecting life?
MAY BE! What we prefer to protect is your heart that loves to read and love nature.
If it is said that the animal can reign and dominate in the air,
Is it the eagle that first thinks of these birds of prey?
Who is the most bullish and top air overlord among insects?
Scary bumblebee? Terrible locusts?
NO!NO!
There is also a powerful class of insects,
Bumblebees and locusts must kneel down and beg for forgiveness when they meet it!
It's the insectivorous fly!
Carnivorous flies are a collective term for insects of the diptera Asilidae family. It is familiar with flies, mosquitoes or relatives, the English name is rober fly, so it is also called a thief. It is found all over the world, and there are more than 7,100 known species worldwide.
The insectivorous fly is large, with a body length of 0.5 to 5 cm, because of its slender body, it looks a bit similar to a dragonfly from a distance. It is larger in body shape than its close relatives, flies, and is considered to be crushed.
This insectivorous fly is 6.6cm long!
The insectivorous fly has a thick beard-like mane on its face, and a pair of giant compound eyes with many thick bristles around the eyes to protect its head from harm.
There are also three single eyes in the middle of the two large compound eyes, which provides an excellent visual basis for it to become the insect air overlord.
The insectivorous fly has thick, long, thorny legs, is extremely fast, agile, and has a large compound eye that also gives it a greater field of vision, and it sneaks up on branches, stones, or the ground, waiting for its prey to pass.
When the prey appears, it suddenly flies over to attack the prey, firmly grasps the prey with its feet, and quickly injects saliva containing neurotoxins and digestive enzymes into the body of the prey, and waits until the internal tissue of the prey becomes liquid, and then sucks the internal liquid of the prey.
Of course, some insectivorous flies do not all eat food for themselves after catching food, and they also have a purpose - courtship.
The left female insectivorous fly has received food
The female insectivorous fly accepts food as a "dowry" before mating with the male insectivorous flies.
The female insectivorous fly turns backwards, ready for position, the picture is too beautiful to look at.
The other insects are all fed by one person, the whole family is not hungry, and the male insect-eating flies still have to prepare a "dowry", but can't they work harder to hunt!
Speaking of the name of the insectivorous fly, the insects flying in the air will tremble three times. The food source of insectivorous flies is very extensive, it can be said that it is the aerial devil among insects, and it is no exaggeration to call it a hegemon.
It preys on almost all flying insects, such as bees, dragonflies, butterflies, moths, locusts, beetles, etc., even its close relatives, flies.
Bumblebees are terrifying, numerous and can even kill people. But even the bumblebee that roared with cattle wasp is also the sac and stomach food of the insectivorous flies.
Moreover, the amount of insectivorous flies is huge, and even can prey on spiders, so the area where insectivorous flies are distributed can often maintain the balance of insect numbers, which shows the influence of insectivorous flies!
Insect overlord in the air,
Insectivorous flies say second, no insects dare to say first!
