Lessons learned from chapters 14 16 of Insects

As follows:

After reading "Insects", I was completely fascinated by this book, it turns out that there are so many mysteries in the insect world! "Insects" is rich and interesting, this is a popular science book that describes insects to give birth, work, and hunt. I learned a lot in it.

For example, how a praying mantis lays its eggs, and how a dung beetle snatches another dung beetle's dung ball.

I think the most stupid of the insects in this book is the cicada, which lays its eggs, a small insect smaller than an ant, and it also lays its eggs in that pile of eggs, and this little insect develops several months faster than the cicada. The larvae of this insect feed on cicada eggs.

Inside, my favorite is the female beetle, not because of its beautiful appearance, but because of its love for children. The beetles I hate most are the thief beetles, because they don't rely on their own labor to find food, but only have the vile means to get the food that others have worked so hard to find.

The book "Insects" is written by the French scientist and popularizer Fabre. After reading this book, I learned that I can't just listen to others, but observe, think, practice, and find the right answer, and observe things from different angles. It is necessary to study and think about the problem in two parts.

"Insects" is different from **, it is the most basic fact, it is every day, every night, alone, quiet, almost isolated from the world of loneliness and hardship. "Insects" not only allowed me to understand insects and change my incorrect view of insects, but also taught me a lot of truths, learned how to observe things and study problems.

I admire Fabre a lot, because he is not afraid of difficulties, whether it is a hot summer or a cold winter, he has to catch live insects to observe, and every time Fabre goes out, he has to carry two bags of insects to observe, and he will protect them. If we study as hard and persevere as Fabre, then we will definitely get good grades.

Building nests and protecting families is the highest expression of the survival instinct of insects. Fabre shows us how diverse insects can be. In terms of the expression of the relationship between motherhood and instinct, the most worthy of attention are the insects of the order Hymenoptera, which embody deep maternal love.

All the natural instincts and talents are used to feed and lodge the posterity, and it is precisely because they have their own family in their hearts that they make themselves experts with great skills; Some became cunning craftsmen who made baskets out of fine leaves; This one became a mason, building concrete houses and rubble roofs; The one is located in a crisp ceramic workshop, using cultivated soil to shape exquisite pointed urns, jars and pots and potbelly ......bottlesIn terms of the richness and delicacy of maternal love, it is comparable to the bees that feed on flowers, as well as the various dung-eating insects that exploit garbage and purify the meadows polluted by herds. Although they make a living by working with dung, they have a great reputation. A good figure, a simple style but a well-glossed coat.

The peculiar costumes are enough to make them shine. As soon as the smell of animal dung had dispersed, the dung-eating insects smelled the smell and rushed to the dung heap to collect and store food. The long claws are stiffly making explosive movements, as if walking under the drive of a machine in the abdomen, a pair of small orange-red antennae, opened into a folding fan-shaped, revealing a salivating anxious mentality.

See! As soon as it arrived, it knocked over the guests at the feast, and it was the scarab beetle (also known as the scarab), the largest and most famous of the dung-eating insects. The crescent-shaped parietal shell is lined with six fine-pointed teeth, which are not only digging tools, cutting tools, but also inserting forks that throw away the non-nutrient plant fibers in the manure, and the ba, which can also be used as a rake, carrying all the delicious things.

The first step in stockpiling food for future generations or for yourself is to select ingredients, remove impurities, gather them into piles, then clear out a field to make a storage dung ball, and then it is necessary to transport the stored food to a safe location. In this operation, the Scarab's amazing skills were fully demonstrated. What's even more amazing is the scarab's extraordinary digestive ability – as long as it keeps its food in its home day and night, it can keep eating until all the food reserves are exhausted.

After reading this chapter, I found out that there are so many kinds of insects, and some are like humans, gods and demons will, since I read it, I have let go of some of the previous misunderstandings about insects in my heart, and I hate river discrimination, and now I am very fond of small animals, let's protect them together!

Brother, it doesn't matter if you have money or not.

Fabre is a famous French science writer, is the first scientist to study insects in nature, he spent his life deep into the insect world, in the natural environment of insects to observe and experiment, real record of insects instinct and habits, wrote "Insects", this entomological masterpiece.

The first feature of "Insect Record" is that it is based on one's own observation and practice, which reflects the scientific nature of insect research. Fabre's greatest interest in life was to explore the living world for what it really is, to discover the scientific truths contained in the natural world. It is precisely because of his love of truth that he wrote the Insects "with an accurate account of the facts observed, without adding anything or omitting anything."

It is this great cause of revealing and grasping the "truth-truth" to which Fabre has dedicated his life.

In Fabre's time, animals were studied by squatting in the laboratory to do dissection and classification, and entomologists were studying insects nailed in wooden boxes, dipped in soju, and kept their eyes open to observe the antennae, palate, wings, and feet of insects, but rarely thought about the role of these organs in the insect's labor process; The important characteristics of insect life, such as instinct and habits, cannot be classified as entomology. Fabre, on the other hand, challenged tradition and turned himself into a "worm man", delving into the lives of insects, using field experiments to study the instincts and habits of insects, and exploring the essence of life.

The second characteristic of "Insects" is that the language is vivid, which reflects a high literary quality. "Insects" is considered "the perfect combination of science and poetry". Fabre wrote down most of his lifelong experience in insect research and his results in the form of prose, and in terms of expression, he mainly used anthropomorphic techniques, so that insects have human love, hatred, feelings, thoughts and behaviors, and I feel very intimate to read.

The three characteristics of "Insects" are that they think about human beings from insects, which embodies a strong ideological nature. Fabre relied on his unique emotional experience to depict insects and understand insects, and to reflect on human nature with insect nature. The insect world he depicts is actually a microcosm of human life.

In Fabre's view, all acts of cannibalism are against human morality, and this is true of the insect world, of humans, and even more so of humans. At no time can human beings go against humanity and morality to do something that is contrary to the laws of nature.

In life and study, we must learn from Fabre's courage and perseverance to explore the world and pursue the truth, no matter what we do, we must be like Fabre, we must have a rigorous scientific spirit, we must persevere in everything, even if the conditions are difficult, we must continue to strive for the ideal.

The first chapter expresses the author's childhood innocence and curiosity about nature.
