First, about bees:?

1, look! There is a kind of bee that can sew. It peeled off the net silk of Erythrina with yellow background, collected a mass of stuffed things, and proudly carried them away with its cheeks (that is, jaws). It will go underground and store honey and eggs with the collected materials. 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 circles to wrap their harvest. This is another group of plasterer bees in black silk sweaters. They work in cement and sand. It is easy to find tools for them to work on stones in my bathhouse. In addition, there is a wild bee, which hides its nest in a ladder with an empty snail shell. The other is to put its larvae in the pith of dried raspberry stems. Third, take dry reed ditch as home. As for the fourth kind, I live in the empty tunnel of Mei Sen 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 Hamam was built, and piles of stones and fine sand were everywhere, which were abandoned by construction workers and soon occupied by various households. The plasterer bees chose the crack in the stone as their sleeping place. If there is a fierce lizard, it will attack people and dogs if it is accidentally run over. They chose a cave and lay there waiting for dung beetles passing by. 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 I find those nests with sky-blue eggs in the stone pile? When moving the stone, the little black monk living in the stone naturally moved with him. I feel sorry for these little monks in black, because they are lovely little neighbors. As for the lizard, I don't think it is cute, so I don't regret its departure. ?

In the sand, there are communities of bees digging and hunting. To my regret, these poor bee diggers and hunters were ruthlessly driven away by the construction workers. But some hunters remained. They are busy looking for caterpillars all day. There is also a bumblebee that dares to catch poisonous spiders. There are many such spiders in the soil of Hama, and they are quite interested. As you can see, there are strong and brave ants, who radiate the power of a barracks and set out in a long line to hunt their powerful prisoners on the battlefield.

Among the residents, the bravest is the wasp, which occupied my house without permission. There are white-waisted bees in front of my house. 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, plasterer bees nest on the soft sand wall. I accidentally left a small hole in the wooden frame of the window, and they used it as a portal. On the edge of the shutter, a few lost bees from Mei Sen built a hive. As soon as lunch time comes, these wasps come to visit. Their purpose is of course to see if my grapes are ripe. These insects are all my friends, my dear little animals, friends I used to know and now know. They all live here. They hunt, build nests and feed their families every day. Moreover, if I plan to move, the mountain is very close to me. 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 the southwest to do some weeding and irrigation of lettuce.

Second, about beetles: Spanish rhinoceros head?

Soon, another mutation happened. The mother who sacrificed everything in the past is not so concerned about the interests of the family now. Since then, they have managed their homes and their own interests. They don't take care of each other. At present, although the female beetle is indifferent to her family, we can't forget the hardships she has paid for getting rid of the interference and invasion of bees, wasps and ants in the past 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. It prepares cradle-like food for each child alone without outside help, and repairs it wholeheartedly to prevent it from breaking down and make the cradle very safe. This is a mother's selfless dedication. Its emotions are so strong and lasting that it has lost all its desires and dietary needs. Feeding its flesh and blood in a dark cave for four months. Take care of its eggs. It will never resume its outdoor happy life until its children are liberated. ?

We saw the deepest example of maternal instinct from the stupid scavengers in the field, and we couldn't help but have infinite respect for this little insect.

Third, about spiders:

1. tarantula?

Finally, this huge family disappeared. These little spiders are carried around by streamers. The female spider, which originally carried 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 at this time it has no heavy burden on its back and is much lighter, but it looks very young. Grandma in the near future and great-grandmother in the future, because a tarantula can live for several years. ?

2. Mei Sen bees?

There are many kinds of insects that like to nest near our home. Among these insects, the first one that aroused people's interest was an animal called the recumbent bee. Why? Mainly because the recumbent bee has a very beautiful and moving figure, a very clever mind, and one thing to pay attention to is its very strange nest. However, few people know about this small insect-the waist-falling bee. Sometimes, they even live by a family's stove, but this family knows nothing about this little neighbor. Why? Mainly because of its natural, quiet and peaceful nature. Indeed, this little thing lives in a hidden way and it is difficult to attract people's attention. So even its own owner doesn't know that it lives in its own home and can be regarded as one of its own. However, humans who hate noise and are particularly afraid of trouble are easier to become famous than these secretive little animals. Now, let me save this humble and unknown little animal from obscurity! ?

In Fables' 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 her children and can't help but pay tribute to it; Mud bees, on the other hand, are as pleasing as girls with quiet personality and delicate appearance.

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

This work is an entomological masterpiece summarizing the species, characteristics, habits and mating habits of insects, and it is also a literary treasure rich in knowledge, interesting beauty 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 bizarre. The author combines the colorful life of insects with his own life feelings and treats insects with a human eye. Between the lines reveals the author's respect and love for life.

In the book Insects, the author describes that small insects obey the laws of nature and make unremitting efforts for survival and reproduction. In the book, Jean-Henry casimir Fabres observes the nature of insects with human nature and reflects on social life with the nature of insects according to his experiences and achievements in insect research all his life. This paper briefly introduces the external morphology and biological habits of insects he observed and studied in an easy-to-understand, vivid and interesting prose style, and truly records the instinct, 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, reflecting the author's meticulous observation and tireless scientific exploration spirit.
