Insect whispering prose

Under any circumstances, we dare not provoke wasps, especially dare not poke wasps' nests. Hornets are fierce and huge. When attacking, they come to stab in droves. It is said that it can sting a cow. People in Guizhou are not afraid. They often poke the hornet's nest and let the wasp pupa burn it.

Usually a hornet's nest built on a tall tree is as big as a chicken coop. The khaki one is more delicate, with a hole in the upper part, which is convenient for wasps to fly in and out. Wasps eat sap, flowers and insect honey.

I hate bumblebees, not because they have bitten me, but because they eat bees. I have a good friend who keeps bees. Go out in spring and come back in autumn. Little bees bring wealth and sweetness to friends. Every time I go home, it is autumn, and there are few flowers. The bees are still trying to get in and out at the door of the hive. At this time, the hateful wasp will invade. Maybe the wasp is here to steal honey. The little bee knows that she is lost and has no fear. In the end, bees are often miserable, leaving a pile of compatriots' bodies at their doorstep. Friends have no choice but to interfere. They hold badminton rackets every day, and when they see intruders coming, they play without mercy. At this time, bees are safer.

Bees are the most industrious animals in the world. Bees don't live long, usually about three months. Bees are probably the most disciplined and United group. They are smart and cute. The sweetest and most delicious thing in the world is honey created by bees.

I don't know why wasps build their nests like lotus flowers. The hornet's nest is usually built under large leaves, or under eaves and rocks. As long as it can shelter from the wind and rain, it can be built. The hornet's nest is an upside-down lotus, but the lotus seed is its pupa. The wasp stings people badly and hurts. Because its nest is not big, it is a little dark, it is not easy to find, and it will be bitten by him if you are not careful. Wasps also eat some tree juice and nectar.

The last thing I want to see is the ground bees, which we call "pit bees" and come and go in droves. Sometimes when we go to the mountains or fields, we accidentally "hum" and a large group comes out. At this time, our first reaction is to cover our heads with clothes and hurry away, otherwise we will be stung and swollen. Don't underestimate these dusty little things. Once you violate them, you will get more than you can chew, which will make you very painful.

I once followed an old man to the mountains to cut wild honey. This is a very high ancient mountain. Under a rock protruding from the summit, there is a wild beehive, which grows so long downward. Yellow with a little milky white grid beeswax nest, as if the honey juice is a little thick, there are not many wild bees. It seems that most of them have gone out to collect honey. The wild bees that can stay are still very vigilant. When they feel someone approaching, they will fly to attack. The old man asked me to stand in the distance, put on a bee hat (some gauze hung around the straw hat), and lit it with some hay, but it was not an open flame, and the hay smoked. Before reaching the wild beehive, the old man drove the wild bees away with smoke, took out a fruit knife, cut a big piece at once and ran away in a hurry. Wild honey can be eaten raw and sucked with beeswax, which is very rare and sweet. I asked the old man why he didn't cut down all the wild beehives. The old man said he couldn't do it, and the wild bees had to eat it themselves.

There is a kind of bee that is stupid and cute. We call it bumblebee. Xiong Feng's round and hairy body really looks like a bear. I like to roll around in pumpkin flowers, and I also like to get into flowers like loofah and wax gourd. But looking at its silly appearance, I think it is a bit inappropriate to pout my ass among the flowers, so I have been playing tricks on it. Sometimes I watch it get into flowers, especially pumpkin flowers. While I was waiting, I suddenly stopped pumpkin flowers's petals and let them buzz. Hummingbees is very gentle, even if she is teased, she won't get angry or sting. When I let go of my hand, the petals of the pumpkin opened and I flew away.

There is also an annoying bee, which we call the moth bee. I don't know what it eats, except that it always makes holes in the door frames and roof beams. The shape is similar to that of Xiong Feng. It is furry. Look at it. Every time it's drilled, it's gray, not garbage. Buzzing. Because it is not good, it always drills holes in wooden places such as doorframes or columns in our house. Maybe it takes holes as its nests. We hate it, so we brought a small stick, watched it go into the hole, and then immediately blocked the hole. But often it will fly out of another hole and look at the masterpieces of many moths and bees on the door frame. We are angry and anxious, but there is nothing we can do.

There are also many peaks, such as ant bees and nine-mile bees, and there are many interesting things. But I found that all bees have one characteristic, that is, if you don't invade it, it will never sting you.

ant

I didn't expect the "wind-chasing eye" to be so powerful that I was bitten by it unintentionally, which made me grin for several days. You can't see any scar at the bitten position, just a red dot, but you will feel fresh and itchy as long as you touch it.

"Wind-chasing Eye" is an ant with a slender body, which is bigger than ordinary ants. I like living in rotten trees, grass leaves or rich and dry soil. In the past, I was most afraid of stepping on some rotten trees and grass leaves when I went to the mountains, where there was often a large nest of "eyes chasing the wind". As soon as you step on your foot, the "wind-chasing eyes" will disperse in droves, and several "wind-chasing eyes" will accidentally climb on you, tickle you and bite you, making you extremely uncomfortable.

In the vegetable garden, the land is soft and fertile, which is the favorite place of "chasing the wind". On one occasion, my father and I went to dig the ground and found a nest of "eyes chasing the wind". We were bitten several times and felt cold and feverish. Finally, I went to the clinic for an intravenous drip to stop the pain and eliminate the cold and fever.

When I was a child, my favorite thing to play was ants moving. We call this kind of play ants carrying shark bones. Owls are salted fish, including hairtail owls, roasted owls and flat owls. Most of the time, we feed ants with leftover shark bones. Watching a large group of ants come and go in a line, I excitedly moved something several times bigger than my head home. I thought, ants are proud enough.

There is an ant that makes people feel very emotional, and that is the yellow-headed ant. Yellow-headed ants crawl around the kitchen and on the kitchen hill. Small, yellow, a little transparent. They climb on the stove and on the mountain because they have something to eat, but I wonder why people seldom interfere with them. In fact, the yellow-headed ant is very kind. They never bite and like sweets. The stove in my old house is small, so my mother often puts oil, salt and sugar on the stove. The stove mountain is a window-shaped cabinet above the stove iron pot, which is connected with the stove body. When it is convenient for women to cook, bring some seasonings such as oil, salt and sweet and sour. The sugar cans there are always covered with yellow-headed ants. Every time I cook, my mother turns a blind eye. With or without yellow-headed ants, she picks up a small spoon filled with sugar and ants and puts it in the burning dish in the iron pot. I'm confused. My mother always said: nothing, yellow-headed ants can cure all kinds of poisons, dispel wind and dispel cold.

Sometimes, we play with ants and like to play practical jokes. Seeing a few ants on the ground, we deliberately sprinkled water around them and watched them run around in a hurry. It is really cute. As soon as they climb to the place where there is water, they first test it with two tentacles on their heads. If they can't see, they will quickly turn around and walk again. We also use burning cigarette butts to block the way of ants.

Thinking about the fun of playing with ants before, I remembered a text I read the other day. It is said that there is an ant in Africa called "man-eating ant". Wherever it goes, let alone people and small animals, even animals like bison will be chewed into a pile of bones in an instant. Suddenly I felt a chill. Fortunately, we have no such ants here. Otherwise, do we still have this kind of fun with ants?
