1. About bees:

1. Look! There is a kind of bee that can sew. It peeled off the netted thread of Erythrina with a yellow bottom, collected a mass of stuffed things, and proudly took them away with its cheeks (that is, jaws). It is going to go underground and store honey and eggs with the collected mass. There are a group of leaf-cutting bees, wearing black, white or blood-red cutting brushes under their bodies. They plan to go to the nearby Woods and cut the leaves into round pieces to wrap their harvest. Here is another group of plasterer bees wearing black silk sweaters. They work in cement and sand. It's easy to find tools for their work on stones in my hammam. In addition, there is a kind of wild bee, which hides its nest in the ladder of an empty snail shell. Another kind, put its grubs in the pith of dry raspberry stalks. Third, use the ditch of dry reed as its home. As for the fourth kind, I live in the empty tunnel of the mason bee, and I don't even have to pay the rent. Some bees have horns, and some bees have brushes on their hind legs, which are used for harvesting. ?

The wall of my Hamas has been built, and piles of stones and fine sand can be seen everywhere, which were all abandoned by construction workers and soon occupied by various households. The plasterer bees chose a crack in the stone to make their sleeping place. If there are fierce lizards, they will attack people and dogs if they accidentally run over them. They chose a cave and lay there waiting for the passing dung beetle. The thrush with black ear hair, dressed in white and black, looks like a monk in black, sitting on the top of a stone and singing a simple song. Where can those nests with sky-blue eggs be found in the stone pile? When the stone was moved, the little black monks living in the stone were naturally moved together. I feel very sorry for these little monks in black, because they are lovely little neighbors. As for the lizard, I don't think it's cute, so I have no regrets about its departure. ?

In the sand pile, there are also communities of digging bees and bee hunters. To my regret, these poor digging bees and bee hunters were ruthlessly driven away by construction workers. But there are still some hunters left. They are busy all day looking for caterpillars. There is also a big wasp that dares to catch poisonous spiders. In the soil of Hamath, there are many such spiders who are quite interested. And you can see, there are strong and brave ants, who send out the strength of a barracks and line up in a long line to set off for the battlefield to hunt their powerful prisoners.

2. Among the residents, the bravest one is the wasp, which occupied my house without permission. At the door of my house, there are still white-waisted bees. Every time I walk into the house, I must be very careful, or I will step on them and ruin their mining work. In the closed window, the plasterer bees build earth nests on the soft sand walls. I accidentally left a small hole in the wooden frame of the window, which was used by them as a portal. On the edge of the shutters, a few lost mason bees built a beehive. As soon as lunch time arrived, these wasps came to visit. Their purpose, of course, was to see if my grapes were ripe. These insects are all my friends, my dear little animals, friends I used to know and now. They all live here. They hunt, build nests and feed their families every day. Moreover, if I plan to move my residence, the mountain is very close to me, and there are wild strawberry trees, rock roses and heather plants everywhere, and wasps and bees like to gather there. I have many reasons to escape from the city for the sake of the countryside and come to southwest China to do something to weed and irrigate lettuce.

second, about beetles: Spanish rhinoceros head?

soon, another sudden change happened. The mother who sacrificed everything in the past is no longer so concerned about the interests of the family. Since then, they have managed their own homes and their own interests. They don't take care of each other. At present, although the female beetle is indifferent to the family, we can't forget her hard care for four months to get rid of the interference and invasion from outside such as bees, wasps and ants. I can raise children and care about their health until I grow up. As far as I know, no other insect can do this. It prepares cradle-like food for each child alone without external help, and repairs it wholeheartedly to prevent it from breaking and make the cradle very safe. This is a mother's selfless dedication. Its emotions are so strong and persistent that it loses all desires and dietary needs. Nursing its flesh and blood in the darkness of the cave for four months. Look after its eggs carefully. It will never resume its outdoor happy life until its children are liberated. ?

We can see the deepest example of maternal instinct from the stupid street sweeper in the field, and we can't help but pay infinite respect to this little insect.

Third, about spiders:

1. Tarantulas?

finally, this huge family disappeared. These little spiders are carried everywhere by floating ribbons. The original female spider carrying the glory of a group of children became lonely and old. It doesn't seem sad to lose so many children at once. It is more refreshed and foraging everywhere, because there is no heavy burden on its back at this time, and it is much lighter, but it looks young. It will be a grandmother in the near future and a great-grandmother in the future, because a tarantula can live for several years. ?

2. mason bee?

There are many kinds of insects that like to build their nests near our house. Among these insects, the animal called the waist-laying bee is the first to arouse people's interest. Why? The main reason is that the waist-laying bee has a very beautiful and moving figure, a very clever mind, and one thing that should be noted is its very strange nest. However, few people know about this small insect, the waist-dropping bee. Sometimes, they even live next to a family's stove, but this family knows nothing about this little neighbor. Why? Mainly due to its natural, quiet and peaceful nature. Indeed, this little thing lives very secluded and it is difficult to attract people's attention. Therefore, even its own owner doesn't know that it lives in its own home and can be regarded as one of its own members. However, human beings who hate noise and are particularly afraid of trouble, compared with these secretive little animals, it is easy to make them famous. Now, let me lift this humble and obscure little animal from obscurity! ?

In Fabres's works, spiders that are usually so scary suddenly become so cute. They seem to have human feelings. We seem to see the tarantula mother busy for the children, and we can't help but pay tribute to it; The plasterer bee, on the other hand, is as pleasing as a girl with quiet personality and delicate appearance.

Souvenirs Entomologiques, also known as Insect World, Insect Tales, Notes on Entomology or Insect Stories, is a long popular science literary work written by French entomologist and writer Jean-Henri casimir Fabres, with ten volumes. (France)

This work is an entomological masterpiece summarizing the species, characteristics, habits and marriage habits of insects, and it is also a literary treasure rich in knowledge, interesting aesthetics and philosophy. The French title of this book is literally translated as Memories of Entomology, and the subtitle is "Research on Insect Instinct and its Customs". Its words are fresh, natural and interesting, its tone is relaxed and humorous, and its story based on facts is tortuous and strange. The author combines the colorful life of insects with his own life feelings and treats insects with human nature. Between the lines, the author's respect and love for life are revealed.

In the book Insects, the author describes that small insects abide by natural rules and make unremitting efforts for survival and reproduction. In the book, Jean-Henry casimir Fabres, based on his experiences and achievements in insect research all his life, observes insect nature with humanity and reflects social life with insect nature. In an easy-to-understand, vivid and interesting prose style, this paper briefly introduces the external morphology and biological habits of insects he observed and studied, and truly records the instincts, habits, labor and death of several common insects, which not only expresses the author's love and respect for life and nature, but also spreads scientific knowledge and embodies the author's meticulous observation and tireless scientific exploration spirit.
