How to forecast the weather with more small animals?

Refer to the following small animals:

1, Cricket: When you clearly hear the chirping of Cricket at night, it indicates that it will be fine tomorrow, and you can safely prepare to go out and hit the road.

2. Dragonflies: When dragonflies fly up and down in the air, it indicates that there will be a rainstorm in an hour or two.

3. Ant: The ant closed its nest, which indicates that a thunderstorm is coming. When the weather gets bad, ants are very busy. Some are busy moving to high places, and some are carrying mud nests back and forth. Generally speaking, the higher the nest, the greater the precipitation. There is also a nest of big black ants, which is often built higher in the direction of the wind the next day.

4. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus: Misgurnus anguillicaudatus often shows anxiety before thunderstorm.

5, red accounts for salmon: red accounts for salmon lying motionless at the bottom of the water, indicating that the weather is fine; When the body is rolled into a "belt", it indicates that the weather will change; When churning in the water, forecast that the wind and rain are coming.

6. Jellyfish: 20 hours before storm warning, the sensory organs of jellyfish can feel the infrasound when the wind blows to the sea surface, so they quickly dive to the bottom of the sea to prevent accidents.

7. Sparrows: In summer and autumn, the weather is sultry and the air is humid. Sparrows feel itchy and fly to shallow water to take a bath to dissipate heat, indicating that it will be rainy in a day or two; If a large number of sparrows take a bath, it indicates that there will be heavy rain in the future, so there is "a group of sparrows to cool down, and the heavy rain is strong."

8. Swallow: There is a folk saying that "swallows fly low and it will rain". This is because swallows eat insects. When it rains, there is a lot of water vapor in the air, which makes some insects' wings wet, just like the plane is too heavy to fly, but they still have to fly, so they can only fly near the ground. Secondly, when it turns cloudy and rainy, the air pressure becomes lower, the water vapor in the air increases, and there are some in the soil.

9. oriole: When the weather is about to turn to rain, oriole will make a sound similar to a cat's meow; In summer and autumn, at sunrise or dusk, owls bark two or three times and jump around the branches. They are restless and as low as crying, which is a symbol of rain.

10, bees: bees are most suitable for flying in sunny weather and high air pressure. In addition, the better the weather, the more sweet juice secreted by plant stamens, and the greater the ability to attract bees. In the morning, bees leave their nests to collect honey. It's sunny, but they don't return to their nests at night. It will continue to be sunny tomorrow. On the contrary, it indicates rain.

1 1, cicada: cicada's cry is made by the membrane vibration of its abdominal sound generator. Generally speaking, cicadas cry about 2 hours before it turns sunny in summer, but it doesn't cry when it turns rainy in sunny days. This is because before it rains, its sound film is wet and the vibration is invalid. On the contrary, the weather turns better, the air is dry and the membrane vibrates strongly.

12, pig: "The pig bites the grass, and the cold wave comes". "pigs build nests, and heavy snow is falling." This is because the pig's nose and mouth are hairless, in direct contact with the air, and are particularly sensitive to cold. Before the cold wave came, it had the foresight to bite grass and build a nest in a hurry. When the weather is a little cold, it will stick its mouth into the grass. When it is colder, it will get into the grass to keep out the cold, and the sow's reaction will be more sensitive.

13, dog: "If the dog is soaked in water, it will rain". Because dogs don't have sweat glands, they can't rely on pores to dissipate heat in hot summer, so they can only keep constant temperature by opening their mouths and pulling their tongues to dissipate heat. When their mouths and tongues are useless, they will jump into ponds or streams and soak in water to help dissipate heat. So the discovery of "dogs soaking in water" indicates that it is going to rain. When it is cold, it will rain.

14, Toad: Toad is also an expert in forecasting. Its physiological structure is special, its lungs are like football, and its breathing power is not high. It is impossible to get enough oxygen by breathing with such lungs. Therefore, in addition to breathing with lungs, epileptic toads have to rely on their skin to help them breathe. Breathing through the skin is conditional, that is, to keep the skin moist all the time. The skin can't breathe, which makes life difficult. So it is very afraid of strong light and dry weather, so it hides in the shade during the day and comes out for food at night. Before the rainstorm (about 1 day), the air humidity is high, and it also comes out during the day. This abnormal performance is in line with the folk saying that "the toad comes out of the hole during the day and it will rain".

15, Fish: Fish live by breathing oxygen dissolved in water. On sunny days, the atmospheric pressure is high, and there is a lot of oxygen dissolved in the water, so it quietly sinks to the bottom of the water; Before it rains, the air pressure is low, the oxygen in the deep water is greatly reduced, and the fish float to the surface to breathe, so there is a saying that "when a fish dives, it will rain".

16. Snakes: Most snakes hide in caves during the day and go out for food, water, bathing and molting at night. However, when the weather is particularly humid and sultry, they will be forced out of the cave. Therefore, it is a sign of rain when a snake comes out of the hole during the day, especially in late autumn and early winter, when a big snake comes out of the hole, it will rain in a day or two. It is "the big snake comes out of the hole, and the heavy rain will knock."

17, Chicken: "Chicken stays late, which indicates rainy weather". Chicken has no sweat glands and sebaceous glands, so it is very afraid of heat because of its lack of heat dissipation ability. When the temperature exceeds 30℃, they should always open their mouths and spread their wings to help dissipate heat. In the hot summer evening, the chicken nest is even more sultry, and it is found that chickens have been reluctant to enter the nest for a long time, which is a sign that a thunderstorm is coming.

18, Frog: In the animal kingdom, frog is called "living barometer", which is caused by the characteristics of frog skin. When the air is dry, skin moisture evaporates faster, so frogs must stay in water to keep their skin moist; In the wet and rainy season, the skin moisture does not volatilize, so it jumps out of the water. Therefore, frogs have become a "living barometer" for African aborigines to observe weather changes.
