Mantis is a beautiful insect. It looks like a slim girl. In the hot grass, it is majestic, and its serious front paws extend into the sky like human arms, which is a very sincere prayer gesture.

Four years of hard work in the dark and enjoyment in January sunshine are cicada's life, and we should not hate the noise and exaggeration in its songs. Because it dug for four years, now it suddenly put on beautiful clothes, grew wings comparable to birds, and bathed in warm sunshine. The sound of the cymbal can be high enough to praise its happiness, so rare and so short.

In fact, it is not rare insects that deserve attention. Those seemingly insignificant insects, if carefully observed, will also find many interesting things. Ordinary doesn't mean insignificant. As long as we pay attention to them, we will find interesting knowledge. Ignorance often blinds us to their value. In fact, the humble creatures are the indispensable notes that constitute the movement of nature's life.

The little one wanted to reach the well, so he sneaked over the cicada's body, but the owner generously lifted his body to let them pass. The big insect took a bite and ran away, walking towards the adjacent branches. When he turned around again, he was bolder than before. Suddenly he became a robber and tried to drive cicadas away from the well.

Finally, this huge family disappeared, and these little spiders were carried around by floating ribbons. The spider mother, who was originally burdened with the glory of a group of children, became lonely and old, and lost so many children at once. It doesn't seem to be sad, but it looks more refreshed and forages everywhere, because at this time it has no heavy burden on its back and is much easier. Instead, it looks young. Soon, it will become a grandmother and a great-grandmother, because tarantulas can live.

There was a water beetle lurking in the glass pool, and their swimming posture aroused my great interest. One day, I accidentally dropped two stone bugs, which were just seen by the water beetle next to the potential stone. They swam to the surface at once and soon caught the small sheath of the stone worm. The stone worm inside felt that the attack was fierce and hard to resist, so he came up with a clever plan and slipped out of the scabbard unhurriedly in the blink of an eye.

From then on, I looked at people with anxiety, as if the skin on my heart had been torn off, so this heart became unbearable sensitive to all humiliation and pain, whether it was my own or others'.

Cicada likes singing very much. There is a cymbal-like instrument in the cavity behind its wings. That's not enough. We need to put a castanet on the chest to increase the intensity of the sound. Indeed, there is a kind of cicada, which sacrificed a lot to satisfy its love for music. Because of this huge castanet, living organs have nowhere to be placed, so they have to be pressed into the smallest corner of the body. Of course, if you want to devote yourself to music, you have to shrink your internal organs to put musical instruments.
In the process of larvae sucking bee eggs, the sweet honey juice stored around bee eggs can't tempt greedy bee mite larvae at all. It ignores them and doesn't touch them. Therefore, it can be said that bee eggs are absolutely important for bee mite larvae and are indispensable food for larvae. Therefore, small bee eggs can not only be used as a boat for bee mite larvae to travel safely in the honey lake, but more importantly, they are also nutritious food for larvae, providing conditions for their vigorous growth.
If the thief escapes safely, the only effort the owner can make is to admit that he is unlucky. It wiped its cheek, took some air, flew away and started over.
After a while, it will eat. Nobody teaches it, but it can do it. Like its predecessors, it will make food into a ball and dig a storage place to store food. It will be fully involved in the work, and there is no need to study at all.
As I said, the ancient Egyptians thought that the eggs of sacred beetles were in the sphere I just described. I have proved that this is not the case. One day, I stumbled upon the truth of beetle laying eggs.
The beetle made a complete ball first, and then made a circle around the pear, adding pressure until the circle became a deep ditch and a bottleneck. In this way, one end of the ball bulges. Add pressure to the center of the bulge to make a pit, that is, a depression with thick edge, deep depression and thin edge, and finally form a bag. It grinds the inside of the bag smooth, lays the eggs in it, and plugs the mouth of the bag with a bunch of fibers, which is the tail end of the pear.
Sometimes, dung beetles seems to be a cooperative animal, which often happens. When a beetle's ball was made, it left its kind and pushed back the harvest. Neighbors who are about to start working will suddenly leave their jobs and run to the edge of the ball to help the master. Its help is certainly welcome, but it is not a real partner. It's much easier to steal a cooked one or go to a neighbor's house for dinner. Some thieves and beetles use cunning means, and some simply use force!

Ordinary cicadas like to lay eggs on dry branches. They choose the smallest branch, whose thickness is mostly between hay and pencil. These twigs, which hang down very little, tend to tilt up and almost die.
However, the stone silkworm is not a very good swimmer. Its rotation or steering looks awkward. This is because it only relies on the part of the body extending out of the sheath as the rudder propeller, and there are no other auxiliary tools. When it enjoys enough sunshine, it retracts its predecessor, exhausts air and gradually sinks.
Their bodies are bulging, like half peas, with smooth or fluffy sheath-like wings. Usually, black coleoptera has red or yellow stripes, or red or yellow coleoptera has black stripes, but some ladybugs have yellow, red or brown coleoptera without spots. These bright colors are used as warnings to scare away natural enemies.
On the third day, everything was the same as the second day. It was very cold that night, and the poor caterpillar survived the night. I found them lined up in two piles along the edge of the flowerpot, and no one wanted to line up any more. They are close to each other for warmth. Since it is divided into two teams, it is reasonable to say that each team should have its own team leader, and it is not necessary to follow others to open up their own lives. I'm so happy for them. Seeing their big black heads groping around in confusion, I think they can get rid of this terrible circle soon. But soon I found myself wrong again. As soon as the two separate teams met, they merged into a closed circle, so they began to beat around the bush all day without realizing that they had missed an excellent opportunity to escape.
Most of us are not familiar with cicada's song, because it lives in a place with olive trees, but those who have read Lafontaine's fables probably remember that cicada was laughed at by ants. Although Lafontaine is not the first person to tell this story.
In my own studio, I filled a big glass bottle with earth, made an artificial crypt for the female beetle, and left a small hole to observe its movements, so that I could see all its working processes.
Six or seven thousand years ago, people first talked about dung beetles. Farmers in ancient Egypt, when irrigating their farmland in spring, often see a fat black insect passing by them, busy pushing a ball back. Of course, they were surprised to notice this grotesque rotating object, just like the farmers in Brovin today.
Mantis was born with a beautiful and elegant figure. Not only that, it also has another unique feature, that is, the pair of extremely lethal and offensive weapons that grow on its front feet. And the difference between its figure and its pair of weapons is simply too big and obvious. It is hard to believe that it is a gentle and cruel animal.
Silkworms first grew in reeds in mire swamps. Many times it is attached to the broken branches of reeds and drifts in the water with reeds. That small sheath is its mobile house, which can also be said to be simple houses that it carries with it when traveling.
At the bottom of the pond, there are many quiet and stable shellfish. Sometimes, the little snail will climb to the shore gently and slowly along the bottom of the pool, carefully and slowly open his heavy eyelids, blink his eyes, curiously look forward to this beautiful underwater paradise, and enjoy breathing some land air; Leeches crouched on their trophies, constantly twisting their bodies, looking smug; Thousands of dragonflies wriggle rhythmically in the water, and in the near future, they will become mosquitoes and bad guys called by everyone.
When the poor locust moved to the point where the mantis could just touch it, the mantis immediately used its weapon mercilessly, hit the poor bug hard with its powerful "palm", and then pressed it hard with those two saws. Therefore, no matter how doggedly the little prisoner resisted, it was of no help. Next, the cruel devil winner began to chew his booty. Of course it will feel very proud. In this way, treating the enemy like autumn leaves is mantis's unchanging creed.
At this time, its color is red and white. It has to change clothes several times before it becomes ebony black. The color is getting darker and harder. Until it is covered with horny nails, it is a fully grown beetle.
The part of the pear stuck to the floor has been covered with fine sand. The rest, too, were polished like glass, which showed that it didn't roll up the pear carefully, but shaped it.
Bees' eggs are always placed in a certain part of the spider's body. The end of the bee egg containing the head is placed near the fattest part of the spider. This is good for the larvae. Because once the larvae hatch, they can directly eat the softest, most delicious and most nutritious food. Therefore, this is a very clever idea. It should be said that nature endows wasps with quite ingenious nature. This economically minded animal won't waste a bite of food. By the time it ate all the spiders, there was nothing in the spider pile. It takes eight to ten days to live a hearty life.
