The main insects and characteristics of "Insects":

1. Dried mud wasps.

They prefer to build their nests in moist and warm places. They often build their nests in chimneys, where the temperature is suitable for the dry mud wasp to survive, but the young of the dry mud wasp often suffocate, so the dry mud wasp will build their nest in the wide chimney.

2. Fireflies.

Outwardly, it has six short legs and loves to walk. When the male firefly is fully developed, they will grow wings because it is a beetle itself, and the female firefly will be in a larval state for the rest of its life.

3. Crickets. When choosing a place to live, they don't choose a naturally formed hidden place because the holes don't fit. They were all built in a hurry and without security.

They usually choose well-drained, sunny places, and when choosing these places, they have to build them themselves.

4. Grasshoppers: They have strong feet, big bellies, and good jumping. Found in wild grasses, low forests, and shrubs, often hiding in grass, or crawling, perching, and foraging on plant stems. It mainly eats the stems, leaves, melons, and fruits of plants.

5. Scarabs.

Also known as scarab.

It is one of the largest and most well-known dung dung fecal-eating insects. There are six fine-pointed teeth in front of the crescent-shaped parietal shell, which are not only digging tools and cutting tools, but also forks for inserting, lifting, throwing and throwing non-nutrient plant fibers in the manure material, and can also be used as a rake, bringing all the delicious things over.

The first step in stockpiling food for its offspring or for itself is to select ingredients, remove impurities, gather them into piles, and then clean up a field to make and store dung balls. Next, it has to transport the food stockpiled to a safe place.

During the journey, the scarab's skill is amazing. What's even more amazing is how digestible it is. It eats incessantly, until it finishes its reserves.
