How do scarabs live? Scarabs live there

I suggest you read "Insects".

On the African savannah, thousands of dung beetles emerge from the ground on the fourth night after the rainy monsoon rains.

After the heavy rains, the elephants greedily feast on the new plants, but the digestive system cannot bear the sudden increase in load, and much of the food they swallow is returned to the ground. The monitor dung is the largest of the dung beetles, and its food depends mainly on elephant dung.

Dung beetles that have just come out of their burrows can immediately fly up in search of food. The dung beetle is about seven to eight centimeters long, and the front half of its body is extremely hard, making it difficult to destroy even a large eagle bird. In search of elephants, dung beetles often fly long distances.

Morphological characteristics. The whole is black and slightly shiny. The male is centimeter long, and the female is slightly smaller. The front of the head of the male is fan-shaped, with fish scale wrinkles on the surface,** and there is a large and gradually pointed upward angular process at the base and slightly square; There are compound eyes on both sides of the back, and there is a bright and wrinkle-free narrow band between the compound eyes.

The dorsal plate of the prothorax is densely covered with well-proportioned small circular processes.

There is a transverse ridge in the middle, the middle part of the ridge is slightly curved forward into an obtuse angle, there is 1 dentate horn process at each end of each side, there is a shallow concave below the front of the odontoid process, its bottom is smooth without a small round process, there is a deep concave on the outside of the shallow concave, and the small round process at the bottom is very vague or absent; Small shields are not visible; The forewings are elytra, rather elevated, covered with dense wrinkled cuts, with 7 easily discernible longitudinal lines on all sides.

Introduction to the scarab beetle in "Insects":

Scarab beetle, Scarabidae. Living in grasslands, mountains, deserts and jungles, wherever there is animal droppings, they will be industrious. In the vast world of beetles, scarabs are the most amazing - their bodies are covered with armor that glows bronze, or faintly emerald green, or dark blue.

In ancient Egypt, the beetle was used as a totem, and when the pharaoh died, his heart would be cut out and replaced with a stone adorned with a scarab.

Habits: Scarab beetles live in grasslands, mountains, deserts, and jungles, and are industrious wherever there is animal droppings. Every day, they remove millions of tons of manure.

Without this natural garbage remover, our planet would be out of control. What motivates this insect to take on this task is the great force of survival. Whenever a mammal excretes its feces on the ground, a brutal competition between beetles begins for this resource.

Each piece of dung itself is a microcosm, and there will be a large number of scarab beetles gathered on this large piece of dung and swept it away in ten minutes.

Scarab. Also known as scarab.

It is one of the largest and most prestigious fecal-eating insects. There are six fine-pointed teeth at the front of the crescent-shaped parietal shell, which are not only excavation tools, cutting tools, but also nutrient-free plant fibers in inserting, lifting, throwing and throwing manure materials.

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.

Languedoc Languedoc is the name of a region in the south of France.

Scorpion: Taciturn, tasteless in contact with it, its customs shrouded in a thick veil. But the description in the book demystifies it for us. Languedoc scorpion.

Long tail (actually its abdomen), a large curved stinger, and a pair of pliers sticking out of the mouth. In April, cuckoos.

When he first tried his mellow voice, the scorpion, who had always been quiet and self-contained, began to "fall in love". They sing, dance, and get to know each other. You see:

The female, with her belly bulging and dark, and the male, thinner and pale, both of them were waging their tails and coiling them into beautiful spirals, and they were walking along the wall with graceful steps. After spending a few days together like this, the couple found a secluded and quiet place, got married, and had a good relationship, but the end of this beautiful idyll was sad! The skinny male scorpion paid with his life for love - the female scorpion brutally ate its groom.

A longer period of gestation is followed by the laying of eggs by the female and the birth of the young, and the mother nurses her children alone until they talk about marriage and go their separate ways.

Praying Mantis: It has a large thin green wing, and a pair of front paws raised to the sky in a prayer form, but this sincere prayer hides its cruel customs. The pair of arms held high were actually its terrible **, and it was it that preyed on the gray locusts and white-fronted mantis that passed by it.

tools. The sharp weapon strikes at the prey, so that the opponent has no power to parry, and even spiders and other insects are afraid when they see it, and become its food.

Cicadas: In the hot summer, people can often hear cicadas chirping.

However, no one may know that the cicada has to hide in its burrow for four years from eggs to larvae and then to become the singer of summer. It has to go through the calamity of nine deaths and a lifetime before it can achieve positive results. However, the singer's life is only 5 weeks, which means that the adult cicada sings in the summer for a very short time.

I didn't see the light of day for 4 years, and I came to the world.

It's only been 5 weeks to sing, so it's always going to have to be enough, and sometimes it's annoying, so it's no wonder.
