Brief introduction of insects in entomology

There are more than 100 kinds of insects in Insect Notes, such as dried mud bees, fireflies, crickets, slugs, caterpillars, scarabs, dung beetles, ants and Sisyphus worms.

First of all, dry mud bees

They like to nest in damp and warm places. They often nest in chimneys, where the temperature is suitable for the survival of dry mud bees, but the young bees of dry mud bees often suffocate and die, so dry mud bees will nest in wide chimneys.

Second, fireflies

Carnivorous, preying on mollusks such as snails and slugs, and annelids such as earthworms. After the prey is obtained, the secretion is injected into the prey with the upper jaw, digested in vitro, and then inhaled. Usually a snail will have many fireflies to share. Eggs, larvae, pupae and adults can emit light, and the light of adults can attract the opposite sex.

Third, crickets

Cricket (xā shuà i) (gryllululus; Invertebrates, Insecta, Orthoptera, Cricetoidea. Also known as promoting weaving, it is commonly known as cricket, nightingale (because it sings at night), common insects, autumn insects, cockfighting, promoting weaving, weaving, ground horn, stove chicken, Sun Wang and soil thorn.

"Monk" is the name of a cricket before it has wings. According to textual research, cricket is an ancient insect with a history of at least 65.438+0.4 billion years, and it is also the object of struggle between ancient and modern times.

Fourth, the fruit

Fruit is the general name of some large songbirds of Insecta, Orthoptera and Tettigonidae. It is very big, looks like a locust, has a grass-green body and slender tentacles. The front wings of male insects rub against each other, which can make a "containing" sound, crisp and loud.

I like to eat melons, fruits and beans. People raise and watch in small bamboo cages. As an ornamental and recreational insect, it has a long history in China. For example, in Guyi area (now Yixian County, Hebei Province), there is a history of catching slugs in cages for hundreds of years.

Five, the caterpillar

Larvae of LEPIDOPTERA insects (butterflies, moths). The body is cylindrical, divided into 13 segments, 3 pairs of chest feet and several pairs of abdomen feet. There are 6 eyes on each side of the head, with short antennae and strong upper jaw. Feces are poisonous. Some caterpillars have other common names, such as inchworm, silkworm and armyworm (larvae of armyworm). Larvae also exist in other insects, such as Diptera and Hymenoptera.
