What is the summary of each chapter of entomology?

The first chapter of entomology discusses the traditions of ancestors.

Everyone has his own unique personality. Sometimes, this character seems to be inherited from ancestors, but when you want to ask where this character comes from, it is very difficult. When I was very young, I had a desire to get close to nature. If you think that I like to observe that the traits of plants and insects are inherited from ancestors, it is a big joke.

Chapter II Mysterious Pond

I never get bored when I stare at the pond. In this small green world, I don't know how many busy little lives will be busy all the time.

By the pond, piles of little black tadpoles can be seen chasing and playing everywhere; The red-bellied salamander also swings its wide tail like a rudder and moves slowly forward; In the reeds, we can also find groups of silkworm larvae, who hide their bodies in small sheaths made of dead branches-this small sheath is used to defend against natural enemies and all kinds of sudden disasters.

Chapter III Silkworm

I put some small aquatic animals in the pond. They are called stone silkworms. To be exact, they are the larvae of the stone silkworm moth, cleverly hidden in a small sheath made of dead branches.

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 home.

In fact, this kind of trailer can be regarded as a very delicate woven work of art, which is made by soaking the roots and skins of plants in water and falling off.

Chapter IV dung beetles

Six or seven thousand years ago, people first talked about dung beetles. Farmers in ancient Egypt, when irrigating their farmland in spring, often see a fat black insect passing by them, busy pushing a ball back. Of course, they were surprised to notice this grotesque rotating object, just like the farmers in Brovin today.

Once upon a time, Egyptians imagined that this sphere was a model of the earth, and the movement of dung beetles was consistent with the movement of planets in the sky. They think this beetle is sacred, because it has so much astronomical knowledge, so they call it "sacred beetle".

At the same time, they think that the ball that the beetle rolls on the ground contains eggs, from which the little beetle comes out. But in fact, this is just its food storage room. There are no eggs in it.

The fifth chapter cicada

The worst criminals are ants. I have seen them bite the tip of a cicada's leg, drag its wings and climb on its back. Even once, a fierce and strong disciple grabbed the cicada straw in front of me and tried to tear it off.

In the end, there were more and more troubles, but the singer had to put aside his well and escape quietly. So the ants achieved their goal and occupied the well. But the well soon dried up and the pulp was eaten up at once. Therefore, it looked for another opportunity to rob another well in order to have a second drink.

You see, isn't the true truth the opposite of that fable? Ants are tenacious beggars, but diligent producers are cicadas!

Chapter VI Masonic 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.

Chapter VII Mantis

There is an insect in the south that, like cicadas, can arouse people's interest, but it is not very 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.

Many years ago, in ancient Greece, this insect was called mantis, or prophet. Farmers saw it standing upright on the grass scorched by the sun, with a solemn gesture. Its broad, veiled thin wings are dragged like a mask, and its front legs are shaped like arms, reaching into the air as if praying. To an ignorant farmer, it seems to be a nun, so later, someone called it mantis.

Chapter 8 Bees, Cats and Red Ants

I hope to know more about bees. I have heard that bees have the ability to tell the direction, and no matter where they are abandoned, they can always return to their original places by themselves. So I want to try it myself.

One day, I caught forty bees in the honeycomb under the eaves and told my youngest daughter Egeland to wait under the eaves. Then I put the bees in a paper bag and walked with them for two and a half miles. Then I opened the paper bag and saw if there were any bees flying back.

In order to tell whether the bees flying under my roof were thrown away by me, I made a white mark on the backs of those abandoned bees.

In this process, my hand was inevitably stabbed several times, but I persisted, and sometimes I forgot my pain. I just held the bee tightly and finished my work. As a result, over 20 bees were damaged. When I opened the paper bag, the bees that had been bored for a long time flew in all directions, as if trying to tell which direction to go home.

Chapter 9 Mine Bee Driving Tunnel

My bee is a slender bee. They are different in size. The big one is bigger than the wasp, and the small one is smaller than the fly. But they have one thing in common, that is, there is an obvious ditch at the bottom of its abdomen, and a thorn is hidden in the ditch. When the enemy invades, the thorn can move back and forth along the ditch to protect itself.

What I want to say here is that there is a red striped bee among my bees. The stripes of the female bee are very beautiful, and the slender abdomen is surrounded by black and brown stripes. As for the figure, it is similar to a wasp.

Its nest is usually built in solid soil, because there is no danger of collapse. For example, the flat path in our yard is their ideal house foundation. Every spring, they come to this place to camp in droves. The number of each group is different, and the largest is almost hundreds of wasps. This place has become their metropolis.

Chapter 10 Fireflies

Among all kinds of insects, few can shine. But one of them is famous for its light. This strange little animal seems to have a lamp on its tail to express its good wishes for a happy life.

Even though we have never seen it, we have never seen it fly across the grass in the dark, and we have never seen it fall from the full moon.

Just like a small Mars, then, at least from its name, we can know something about it. In ancient times, the Greeks once called it bright tail, which is a very vivid name. In modern times, scientists have given it a new name, called the firefly (Iamqyris).
