In fact, it acts like a miner or a railway engineer. Miners support tunnels with pillars, and railway engineers reinforce tunnels with brick walls.
If the thief escapes safely, the only effort the owner can make is to admit his bad luck. It wiped its cheek, took some air, flew away and started over.
At these times, it lives in a pear-shaped nest underground. It is eager to break through the nail nest of the hard shell and run to the sun. But its success depends on the environment.
The part of pear sticking 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.
6. 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, and it is a fully grown beetle.
7. 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.
8. 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 posture.
9. As I said, the ancient Egyptians believed 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.
10, it will eat soon. 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.
1 1. Then, it will perform a strange gymnastics, with its body soaring in the air, only a little fixed on the old skin, turning its body upside down, its wings covered with patterns, straightening out and trying to open. This is very suitable for trying to understand.
12, when it is near the ditch, it will certainly notice this gratifying thing, so it rushes to the water to get this precious little bit of soil. In the season without moisture, they will not easily let go of this extremely rare discovery.
13. 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.
14 of course, I have done this kind of experiment. I put the dry hard shell in the box and keep it dry. Sooner or later, I will hear a sharp rubbing sound in the box, where the prisoner scraped the wall with his rake. After two or three days, there seems to be no progress.
15. There is an insect in the south, which, like cicada, can arouse people's interest, but it is not famous because it can't sing. If it also has cymbals, its fame should be much greater than that of famous musicians, because its shape and habits are very unusual. This will be an excellent musician.
16. After a few shakes, the wasp's nest began to take shape. At this time, in such a short time, its hive has actually become as big as an acorn, which is really unexpected. They are really some magical little animals. Fully demonstrate the ability of wasps.
17. At present, although the female beetle is indifferent to her family, we can't forget her hard care for getting rid of the interference and infringement of bees, wasps and ants for four months. I can raise children and care about their health until I grow up. As far as I know, no other insect can do this.
18 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.
19. The plasterer's bee's nest is made of anhydrite. Usually its nest is around the branches. Because it is made of gypsum, it can be attached to it very firmly.
However, the masons' beehive is only made of mud, without cement or anything else that can make it stronger. So how does it solve these problems?
20. Cicada was first discovered in the summer solstice. On the sunny road with many pedestrians, there are many round holes, which are flush with the ground and about the size of a person's finger.
In these round holes, cicada larvae crawl out of the ground and become complete cicadas on the ground. They especially like dry and sunny places. Because grubs have a powerful tool that can penetrate baked soil and sand.

The first volume was first published in 1879, and the whole book was first published in 1907.
This work is an insect biology book, which summarizes the species, characteristics, habits and mating habits of insects, records the real life of insects, expresses the spirituality of insects in struggle for existence, and also records Fabers' motivation, life ambition, knowledge background and living conditions of being obsessed with insect research.
The author combines the colorful life of insects with his own life feelings, treats insects with a human attitude, and reveals his respect and love for life between the lines. ?
Entomology is divided into ten volumes, and each volume is divided into 17 to 25 chapters. Each chapter describes the life of one or several insects in detail and in depth, and also includes some biographical articles about experiences and memories. In this book, the author describes that small insects obey the laws of nature and make unremitting efforts for survival and reproduction.
Based on his life-long experience and achievements in insect research, the author recorded the instinct, habits, labor and death of several common insects with emphasis on the external morphology and biological habits of insects he observed and studied.
