This insect is: fireflies.
Fireflies are carnivorous creatures, the larvae of aquatic fireflies eat snails, shellfish, and small animals in water, while the larvae of terrestrial fireflies feed on snails, clams, and some species will prey on small animals such as maggots and insects.
In the process of predation, the firefly first climbs on the shell of the snail, grasps it tightly with 3 pairs of legs, and the tail foot is also firmly attached to the shell of the snail, and then uses its needle-like palate to attack the tentacles of the snail and inject anesthetic solution until the snail loses consciousness. It then secretes digestive juices on the snail meat, and then uses the roof of the jaw to clamp the meat, so that the digestive juices can fully decompose the meat into a flowing meat, and then inhale it into the stomach. After eating, some fireflies have to stick their tail feet to clean their bodies.
That's their amazing ability to turn solid matter into liquid matter.
Extended Materials. The habits of fireflies.
Fireflies are divided into two categories: terrestrial and aquatic according to their living environment, with the former accounting for the majority. Terrestrial fireflies mostly inhabit places with high shading, lush vegetation and high relative humidity, while aquatic fireflies have higher requirements for the environment, and the water cannot be polluted or polluted by lights.
Firefly larvae are divided into aquatic and terrestrial larvae, and the larvae generally need 6 metamorphoses before entering the pupal stage. The larvae eat snails and crustaceans, and after catching prey, they will first anesthetize and inject digestive juices into their bodies to break down the meat.
In the grass, it is common to find terrestrial firefly larvae with two points of light on the tail, and two-color weeping firefly larvae with black and white glow all over the body, and the wings of the growing females of these two species are degraded and not much different from the shape of the larvae, so that the male can fly.
In early spring, water-dwelling firefly larvae climb ashore and burrow into the soil. At this time, the gill breathing is changed to stomatal breathing, the sides of the abdomen will glow, and it takes about 50 days to become an adult pupa, and the average life is only 5 days, and the growth of food has become secondary, and the fireflies are very active in the 1 hour after sunset, gaining time to pursue each other.

"Insects" insect characteristics:
1. Scarab is the largest and most prestigious of the fecal-eating insects.
There are 6 fine-pointed teeth at the front of the crescent-shaped parietal shell, which is not only a digging tool, a cutting tool, but also a fork 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.
2. Scorpion: taciturn, tasteless in contact with it, and its customs are covered with a thick veil.
3. Praying Mantis: It has a wide green wing, and a pair of front paws are raised to the sky in a prayer form, but this pious prayer hides its cruel customs.
4. Cicadas: In the summer heat, people can often hear the cicadas, but no one may know that the cicada goes from eggs to larvae, and then becomes the singer of summer, and it has to hide in the burrow for 4 years.
Dry mud wasps like to build their nests in moist and warm places, they often build their nests in chimneys, the temperature in the chimney is suitable for the dry mud wasps to survive, but the young of the dry mud wasps often suffocate to death, so the dry mud bees will build their nests in wide chimneys.

For insects that can metamorphose, let's take moths as an example, the life of moths will go through eggs, larvae, adults, cocoons, pupae, and finally turn into butterflies. Hope.
