The wind has run out of dust and flowers, and the tired hair is combed in the evening. Things are people and things are not things, and tears flow first. It is said that sungai spring is still good, and it is also intended to pan a light boat. I am only afraid of the Twin Rivers Stern Boat, which cannot be moved and has many sorrows.
The above is Li Qingzhao's famous work "Wuling Spring", for all cultural people to appreciate and review, this article only takes the word "stern" as an introduction.
Sampan, pronounced the same as "仄猛", although from the "boat", but obviously from the "grasshopper" was born, as Wang Niansun said in the "Jade Chapter": The ship, the boat also. The boat is called a sternwheeler, and the locust is called a grasshopper, and the righteousness is similar. The grasshopper is a metaphor for a small boat, and it is extremely narrow.
Grasshoppers and locusts are both nicknames such as grasshoppers, not precise concepts, but if folk colloquialisms are linked to insect taxonomy, the three words grasshopper, grasshopper and locust are worth mentioning. They all belong to the orthoptera locust suborder , which can be collectively referred to as locusts ; compared with the hedgehogs of the same order Orthoptera , the common feature of locusts is that the antennae are thick and short ( except for the longhorn locust family ) , and are not as ethereal and slender as the antennae of the antes.
Grasshoppers, the specific species is unknown
Locusts can also be divided into three categories: locusts, grasshoppers and grasshoppers. One of the most inconspicuous is the grasshopper, which is characterized by: small body, diamond-shaped, so it is also called rhomboid locust. The dorsal plate of the forebreast extends backwards, covering the entire abdomen. The forewings are small and scaly. The little grasshopper that often flutters under the lamp is generally it. Although small, it is quite stout, and because its front chest back plate covers the abdomen, the overall feeling is slightly "hard". The body color of grasshoppers is generally dull, similar to dirt, and very low-key. Usually, the most easily seen locust is the basic feature: the front chest back plate does not extend backwards. The antennae are longer than the leg segments of the forefoot. The claw has a midrest. Spawning is in the soil. Locusts are diverse in size and form, and they are widely distributed, almost everywhere in China. Common species in the north are cotton locust, East Asian flying locust, flower shin green striped locust, short-horned heterocera-legged locust, short-frontal negative locust and Chinese sword horn locust.
Nymphs of cotton locusts, locusts
Cotton locust adults
Cotton locust, scientific name Chondracris rosea (De Geer, 1773), also known as the great green locust, male 45 to 51 mm long, female 60 ~ 80 mm, is the largest locust in the north and even in the country. The whole body is yellowish-green , and the species word rosea refers to the rose red at the base of the hindwings. In general, Kong Wu is powerful, the hind feet are particularly strong, and there are fine teeth on the outside, sharp as a knife, and there may be a blood and light disaster when it is stepped on, so the folk are called "stepping down the mountain".
East Asian flying locust, scientific name Loxusta migratoria manilensis (Meyen, 1835), is a subspecies of the genus Locust in the family Locustidae. Its male adults are 33 to 48 mm long and female adults are 39 to 52 mm long, slightly inferior in size to cotton locusts. The body color varies greatly, with grayish-yellowish-brown (gregarious type) or green thorax and hind feet (scattered type). This species is a migratory omnivorous pest, and the historically frightening locust plague has its share, but now the situation has changed, it is the most common species in locust farming, and the crispy grasshopper is its new home.
The tibia green locust, scientific name Aiolopus tamulus (Fabricius, 1798), is a genus of green-striped locusts in the family Locustaceae. The male is 15–21.5 mm long and the female is 20–29 mm long, slender, dark brown to yellowish brown, with an "X" stripe on the dorsal plate of the forethia, and the lateral base and posterior groove area are often bright green and more vividly colored. Seeing it feels very kind, because the locusts that chased in the grass as a child were probably it, and it was extremely impressive.
Adult short-horned heteropod locust
Short-horned heteromorphic leg locust, scientific name Xenocatantops brachycerus, spotted locust family. The body size and shin green striped locust are between the bozhong, the adult is 17 - 28 mm long, and the body color is yellowish brown or dark brown. It is commonly found in flat to low-altitude mountains, is commonly found in grassy activity, and the body color changes with the environment, but the black markings of the hind foot and leg joints are generally stable.
Short-fronted negative locust nymph, locust
Short-fronted negative locust adult, male
Short-fronted negative locusts that are mating tails, males and females
The short-fronted negative locust, scientific name Atractomorpha sinensis Bolivar, belongs to the order Orthoptera cone-headed locust family. Medium in size, the male is 21–25 mm long and the female is 35–45 mm long and has a green or brown type II. Unlike the above-mentioned locusts, the short-fronted negative locust has a sharpened head and protrudes forward, so it is called "cone-headed locust", which is generally called "old flat" in my hometown. This kind of behavior is relatively slow, the ability to fly and jump is not strong, the female is particularly weak, coupled with a gentle and humble personality, it is one of the favorite childhood playmates for rural children.
The Chinese sword horn locust that is mating tails, male and female
Chinese sword horn locust, scientific name Acrida cinerea, orthoptera sword horned locust family. The shape of the sword horn locust is slightly similar to that of the short-fronted negative locust, both are pointed heads, but the facial angle is different, the size is much larger than the short-frontal negative locust, the adults are generally 30-81 mm long, the female is greater than the male, green or brown. In addition, the hind feet of the sword horn locust are developed, and they cannot fold into parallel to the body like negative locusts, and they are always bowed, which is the case for most locusts. The grasshoppers that the ancients used to describe small boats mostly refer to kinds such as negative locusts or sword horn locusts, and the two pointed ends resemble boats.
Grasshoppers, the specific species is unknown
Finally, let's talk about grasshoppers. The appearance of the grasshopper is similar to that of the locust, and its characteristics are: the antennae are shorter than the forefoot leg segments, and there is a small protrusion at the proximal end of the antennae. No auditor. The head of the grasshopper is not sharpened like a negative locust, but the face is as narrow and long as Li Yong, which looks a bit like a horse's head, so it is called "horse head locust" in some areas. Grasshoppers are less distributed in China, the species are poor, and they are mainly concentrated in the south.
The above is a simple way to distinguish grasshoppers, grasshoppers and locusts and an introduction to some common species.
