Chapter 462
When a big baby enters the world of hummingbirds, he also enters the world of small people. Small flowers, small animals, and small worlds are really wonderful.
Dawa can see that the ants are carrying food that is several times heavier than them in order to survive; the bees are dancing in groups of eight in the air, whether it is to attract the opposite sex or to collect honey, they are also for survival , and some army of insects are fulfilling their own way of survival, beetles, butterflies, spiders.
The eldest child has never seen such a scene. He thought that only the adult world they lived in was really wonderful, but he did not expect that the world of these small animals was also extremely wonderful.
The crickets are particularly impressive to Dawa, their jumping ability is really too powerful!
Jump into the grass to hide and call, the sound of the call is very moving.
Dawa has seen many people like to fight crickets. Crickets are not small animals that like to fight. Some boring characters force them to fight.
The big baby began to have infinite sympathy for them. Don't these little people all end up like this?
Dawa began to be interested in these little people, and he decided to live with them, at least for a while.
However, his decision was a bit abrupt, and he had to tell his grandfather and other gourd baby brothers.Dawa tries to get bigger, then leaves here to report back.
But no matter how much power he exerts, he just can't get bigger.
It turned out that he had consumed too much strength when healed the scars.
He could only hope that the Phoenix Goddess would show up in time, allowing him to restore his spells and tip off the news.
But the Phoenix Goddess just didn't appear, she didn't appear when she should, and she appeared when she shouldn't, and sometimes the fate of life is the same.
The eldest baby didn't think about it for the time being, he started to observe what the little animals would eat?He still had some prejudice against small animals before.For example, the rice and wheat they eat will be destroyed by locusts; but they don't know that the locusts only destroy them because they want to survive.Locusts are extremely prolific!
Locusts are commonly known as "grasshoppers" and "grass moths" in Taiwanese.An incomplete metamorphosis.With chewing mouthparts, it is a herbivorous insect.Most of them are not picky eaters. In the grass in the wild, it is often seen eating the leaves of grasses one by one. Its antennae are not as long as katydids, and they are short whip-shaped, but they have strong hind legs. Can use bounce to avoid predators.Sometimes you can see the marriage scene of two locusts, male and female.After mating, the female locust inserts the oviposition tube into the soil at a depth of 10 cm, and then lays about 50 eggs.When laying eggs, the female will secrete a white substance to form a cylindrical plug, and then lay the eggs.
The hind legs are well developed, and the hind legs can jump dozens of times longer than the body.Incomplete metamorphosis, nymphs and adults are similar except for the presence or absence of wings.Hindwings are translucent.The wings of some species of locusts have degenerated and become smaller, and some species such as diamond locusts have lost the ability to fly.
The body color is green and brown, regardless of the species; it is the protective color of the living environment.
Locusts have large mouths and well-developed jaws. They feed on plant leaves. Locusts like to eat reeds, barnyardgrass, imperata, bermudagrass and Artemisia plants, astragalus and salicornia.Some locust species are omnivorous and also eat insect carcasses, even the carcasses of their own species.Some species of males make sounds to attract females, but they make sounds by rubbing their wings and hind legs, unlike crickets that use the vocal organs of their forewings to make sounds.
It is usually green, brown or black, with a large head and short antennae; the pronotum is hard, extending to the left and right sides like a saddle, and the middle and hind chest are healed and unable to move.The feet, especially the muscles of the hind legs are strong and the exoskeleton is hard, making it a jumping expert. The tibia also has sharp saw spines, which are effective defensive weapons. The ovipositor has no obvious protrusion, which is the biggest difference from katydids. .
Locusts are the number one foodie in the insect world, and Dawa hates it very much.
If even human rations are eaten, then this kind of insect is undoubtedly a pest.
At first they thought that locusts were a natural disaster, there was no way to avoid them, and no one was going to control the locusts. Later, because the locusts were too rampant, they could only eliminate them through some methods.
So smart humans have thought of many ways to eliminate locusts.
Someone invented the "ditch and ridge method". First, ditches were dug on the ground and beside the road, and then everyone lined up, holding branches, wood chips, and the like, and waved and shouted to drive the locusts into the deep ditch on the ground. Add soil to bury.But this method may not be effective. Some people catch locusts and bury them, but the locusts survive and emerge from the soil to harm crops again.Therefore, the method of burning and burying appeared again. The method was to light a fire next to the dug ditch at night. When the locusts saw the light, they flew into the fire and were burned to death. Those that fell beside the fire were swept into the ditch for burial.Some people threw the captured locusts into the water and drowned them. In the record of the locust disaster in Henan, Ni Ruoshui, the governor, led the people to catch locusts. In addition to the 14 shi of locusts captured, there were also "those who threw them down the Bianqu, invincible."
The variety of locust catching methods shows that human beings have a considerable degree of understanding.For example, the egg-laying form of locusts, the depth of the female locust's oviposition into the soil, the process from larvae to adults, and the working and resting habits of locusts are all mentioned. This understanding is no longer inference, but comes from daily observations and generalized experience. talk.
Locust seeds are locust eggs. Digging out locust eggs and destroying them will prevent them from regenerating in the next year.It is obviously more systematic than the previous generation.The time, tools, methods and handling of locusts are all discussed.For example, the best time to catch locusts is in the morning, when there is dew on the wings of locusts, and the ability to jump and fly is poor, so it is easier to catch them.In the Yuan Dynasty, the use of ditches and ridges to exterminate locusts developed again, not only digging ditches on the roadsides of the land, but digging ditches everywhere, and the ditches were connected and criss-crossed, as if fighting a "tunnel war".
Here we just take locusts as an example, and there are many small animals that are actually involuntary.
Let's see how these small animals drink water?
Among these small animals, there are those that fly in the sky and those that crawl on the ground, and they all need to drink water!
Stream water is relatively favored by many small animals, and river water is choppy for small animals.Many small animals will be overturned by the river if they are not careful!
Humans choke to death when they drink water, and small animals drown!
The eldest child saw a beetle crawling by the river, but he didn't expect a big wave to knock him over.Little life is so fragile!
Dawa feels the fragility of life. Every group has its own life and its own way of survival.
He has to live the life of a small animal to feel the inner thoughts of the small animal.
