Today, I was lucky enough to catch a mantis in the grass behind my house. I was so happy that I quickly put it in a big plastic bowl and observed it carefully.
It looks more like a warrior in high spirits: the big eyes embedded in the triangular head are bright and look around, as if guarding against something; Behind the slender front is its wings, which look like a solid armor; There are rows of small serrations on the hind legs and calves, which makes people shudder. Its deadly weapon is two "Zangetsu Double Knives" at the front of its body. Look carefully, there are rows of small serrations on it, which can hold the prey tightly. For this reason, before I caught it, my finger was gloriously "sacrificed" because of these two broadswords, and it still hurts!
Mantis is docile before preying. Now, it stands quietly in a plastic bowl, with two big knives folded on its chest, doing prayers, like a faithful believer. It doesn't look terrible, but it makes people feel that it is just a docile insect. To see the effect, I caught a grasshopper and put it in a bowl. I didn't expect it to be quite different from what I expected.
When the grasshopper first entered the bowl, it just skipped around and didn't even look at the mantis. This abnormal behavior seems to have angered mantis. He stared at the grasshopper angrily, spread his wings and made a "flapping edge" sound to attract the grasshopper and set a trap at the same time. The grasshopper began to pay attention to this monster. When it saw the fierce mantis, it was a little at a loss and tentatively moved a step to the left. Surprisingly, mantis's eyes moved with it. The grasshopper began to wonder. The grasshopper, who has always been flexible in hands and feet, lost its lightness and freedom in the past and stared blankly at mantis. Mantis, continue to put on its terrible appearance, maybe it is very satisfied with its psychological tactics.
The grasshopper began to be afraid. It doesn't know what to do now or how to defeat this strange enemy. Somehow, it approached mantis bit by bit. As soon as it came to the attack range of mantis, mantis immediately popped out a big knife, caught the poor prisoner, and then bit the fragile part of the grasshopper's head with its teeth, so it ate it leisurely-because the grasshopper was dead when it was bitten. Soon, only a few thin wings of the grasshopper died, leaving only mantis licking its mouth in the bowl. I couldn't control my joy and wrote it in my diary.
Every summer, as children in rural areas, unlike children in cities, they can go to shopping malls, parks and playing tag. Children in the countryside can only find some entertainment on the grass in the street.
Every time it's school time or weekend, our friends do some housework as much as possible, and the rest is playing. To say that our favorite thing to play is to catch bugs, all kinds of bugs.
Catching insects is also a technical activity. If you don't know the habits and lifestyles of insects, you may not even find them. As children in the countryside, insects are a piece of cake. First of all, you need to know where insects generally like to stay and live.
Generally speaking, grasshoppers are the most common weeds in the grass. We are also called grasshoppers. There are many kinds of grasshoppers, including bamboo leaves, grasshoppers, grasshoppers, mantises, crickets and grasshoppers. When catching these insects, you must remember to sneak into the grass, because what these insects are good at is jumping. If your voice is too loud, they will jump away when they hear trouble, and it is difficult for you to catch them.
In addition to these insects that can be found in weeds, others need to look for their shadows in trees, such as cicadas, also called cicadas. This is also a common insect in rural areas. Every summer, they will squeak on the trunk, especially after the rain, these cicadas will be slapped on the ground by the rain. At this time, you just need to go under the tree and pick them up.
If you want to be a dragonfly, then you must choose a very sultry weather, or you must go to a lake or water area, because insects like dragonfly prefer humid and sultry weather and humid environment. The best tool to catch dragonflies is the big broom that sweeps the floor at home. When aiming at the dragonfly, raise the broom with both hands and photograph it. At this time, you will find that there are 2 or 3 dragonflies under your broom, but excessive force may kill the dragonflies, so you must use appropriate force.
In summer, we usually catch insects in the countryside as a way of entertainment, and then study their appearance, shape, lifestyle and so on. If we know anything best, it must be insects.
During the summer vacation, my father bought me a book called Insects, which I read with relish. I was deeply attracted by the book Insects. This book seems to have brought me into the mysterious insect world, and I am one of them. ...
Insects are small and big. Before reading this book, I hated insects very much, and I didn't even observe any kind of insects carefully, but as soon as I picked up this book, I found that I fell in love with these insects: the little beetle made selfless dedication to future generations, heartbroken for children, the plasterer's perseverance in building houses, the unity and friendship of ants, and so on. Interesting stories make me feel like I am in it, and I am brought into the insect world again and again. Moreover, I have gained a lot of knowledge by reading this book. In human life, there are also many things invented by insects, such as: using dragonfly wings to invent helicopters and using fireflies to artificially cool light. Everything about insects gives us a lot of inspiration, so we should protect insects, and insects are also an indispensable member of the earth.
After reading the book Insects, I saw Fabres's love for insects and his careful observation. As can be seen from her writing, insects are lovely and emotional. They are natural creatures and friends of human beings, not objects of hatred and disgust. In Fabres's book, insects interpret the classic stories of nature. These stories are closely related to people, so you have to be surprised and delighted. Today, I am enjoying reading through Fabres's eyes; Fabres has worked hard for it all his life, but I have no experience. Only by savoring the essence of this book can we have a deeper understanding of the insects he studied. Like the author of this book, we should explore nature and learn about animals, plants and insects. Maybe we will like nature gradually. Similarly, we should also protect them, not only to protect the ecological balance of nature, but more importantly, there are many things worth learning from them that we humans need to discover and learn. Now, I have fallen in love with insects deeply, and I began to observe their appearance and life carefully. Insects are also a kind of life. Let's protect these lovely lives!
If arthropods are the most brilliant species on earth, then the corresponding title within this species should belong to insects. So far, the number of insects found is close to 654.38+0 million, and there may be millions of species waiting for human discovery-about 7000 new species are discovered every year. However, while we keep discovering them, the number of them disappearing every year exceeds the number we find-this is the result of the continuous destruction of their habitats, especially tropical rainforests.
At present, most authorities believe that the wingless collembola, Primula and Diptera are not insects, and they should be given a separate class under the hexapod (collectively known as ungulates, arthropods and slow-moving animals) of the phylum Monopoda. Hexapod insects are different from much fewer polypod insects, and their bodies are divided into three obvious parts-head, chest and abdomen; The chest has three parts and six accessories, and there is a tracheal system in the body.
There are several theories about the origin of insects, but it seems that they evolved from polypods, and their direct ancestors are similar to synthetic insects. In addition to the outer epidermis, the main features of early insects include mouthparts outside the body cavity, the head of the lower mouthparts, a pair of antennae, muscles only at the base, six pairs of appendages, at least five limbs-at least three in the chest, and at least 1 1 in the abdomen. These characteristics distinguish insects from other hexapods. As the most abundant species, how did insects evolve? Insects are very old biota, which have existed for 350 million years. The earliest insects lived in water. In order to adapt to life on land, they chose evolution-there are three parts-head, chest and abdomen-and wings (some insects). In the long history of 100 million years, insects evolved from water to land, from land to sky, until the Cretaceous period of 65.438+0.3 billion years ago, all kinds of insects came into being and gradually established a powerful insect kingdom! Insects, a growing kingdom gathered by small life, can we humans learn anything from them?
Today, I lie on the green lawn and forget the world and myself in infinite silence.
My eyes followed the wonderful bugs and made a strange trip. The space has expanded before my eyes, and the thin grass stems have become lush forests. An ant, a lovely little ant, hurried along the road in this forest, as if looking for food. At this time, it found a small piece of biscuit crumbs. It stepped forward carefully and touched it with its tentacles. The little ant who found the food was overjoyed and had a hard time carrying it to the door. Before he went in, he saw many similar ants coming out to meet him. I think they must be celebrating! I walked out of the forest and came to a sea of flowers. Roses, azaleas ... each one is so gorgeous and fragrant that it attracts a little bee. They buzzed as if they wanted me to collect nectar with them. They are so diligent and busy, they must want to give sweetness to others as soon as possible! Gradually, I came to an empty lawn again. Suddenly, a figure flew in front of me. A closer look shows that she is wearing a red coat with seven black gems. Haha, it's a ladybug! She danced lightly in front of me, trying to show off her colorful clothes! Slowly, the sun kissed the western hills, and dusk came. I watched the sunset and sat quietly. I looked down and saw a small snail. It is carrying its own small house, wandering slowly, as if looking for a confidant to talk to itself. I picked it up gently, and it got into the hut shyly. After a while, it seemed to feel my kindness to it and slowly leaned out of its head. Shortly after I said goodbye to the snail, night came quietly. I was walking on my way home, counting the little stars in the sky. Suddenly, there are many small green bright spots around. I was stunned. Did the star land as a guest? I thought about it carefully, hehe, it must be fireflies! Are they carrying small lanterns to illuminate me?
Before I knew it, I got home. What a pleasant afternoon! I want to hold your hand and visit those wonderful little creatures in the insect house together.
