They feed on feces. Some people may think they are ugly, but they are not. Their appearance is so radiant that the author writes: "A pair of small orange-red antennae, stretched out into folding fans.

Shape", "long claws", "simple but shiny coat" ......Colors, shapes, and other aspects are described in great detail and observed in great detail. They are also very conscientious mothers, and the author mentions that they are very selective about their food, and they need to be strict and meticulous in their children's cooking. This kind of love for children is beautiful, and it also proves that in nature, beauty and ugliness are opposites, and there is no absolute ugliness or beauty.

When the author observes insects, he also focuses on their movements, behaviors. The author wrote about a scarab beetle that made a dung ball, and it worked hard to process it, and every detail of it was clearly written by the author. "Stiffly doing it with explosive power.

as if it was walking under the drive of a machine in its belly" vividly reflects its salivating anxious state of mind. But the continuous difficulties on the road prevented it from storing the dung balls. But it has perseverance and keeps trying until a helper comes.

Who knew that this helper had a ghost in his heart and wanted to snatch the dung ball ......Amazing things continue to happen, attracting our interest in reading, and also showing us a colorful and interesting insect world.

The main content of the first chapter of the "Insect Chronicles", "On Ancestral Tradition", is that everyone knows that the fly is dirty, but its excrement magically becomes a growth promoter, and it can also promote the growth of other animals.

Chapter 10 of "Insects" summarizes the content: it reveals to people the deep affection of these insects for their lovers and children, and composes love poems in the insect world in vivid and plain language.

Insects is also known as "Insect World".

Insect Story", "Entomological Notes" or "The Story of Insects".

It is a long biological work written by the French entomologist and writer Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre, with a total of ten volumes. The first volume was first published in 1879 and the entire book in 1907.

The work is an insect biology work that summarizes the species, characteristics, habits and marriage habits of insects, records the real life of insects, expresses the spirituality of insects when they struggle for survival, and also records the motivation, life ambition, knowledge background, living conditions and so on of Fabre's obsession with insect research. The author integrates the colorful life of insects with his own life perception, and looks at insects with human nature, revealing the author's respect and love for life between the lines.

In April 2020, it was included in the "Reading Guidance Catalogue for Primary and Secondary School Students of the Basic Education Curriculum and Textbook Development Center of the Ministry of Education (2020 Edition)".

The main contents of the second chapter of "Insects" are as follows:

Chapter 2, the Kunling Stove Worm's Pretending to Be Dead:

This fable tells that before winter is coming, many animals are preparing for winter, and the cicada that has been lazy not only does not prepare for its winter, but also laughs at the stupidity of the ants and other animals who are stocking up for the winter, but when the cold winter really comes, the other animals survive the winter, but the lazy cicada is drowned in the snow because it has no food to eat, and is drowned in the snow while looking for food.

The reading methods suitable for reading popular science books include the examination method, the hook method, the excerpt method, and the comparison method.

1) Inspection. Examination, i.e., systematic skimming and coarse reading, to grasp the framework of the whole book and understand what the whole book is talking about; At the same time, it understands the life story of the writer, the reason for the book, and the status of the work, so as to generate reading expectations and promote further reading.

2) Hook element method. Han Yu reads, "Those who remember things must mention their essentials, and those who compile words must hook their yuan." The "yuan" mentioned here refers to the subtlety and essence of the work.

To read popular science works, it is necessary to extract important scientific information from the text and summarize the relevant knowledge of the object being introduced. When reading "Insects", you need to circle the key words and sentences of the insects introduced, such as appearance, diet, marriage habits, reproduction and death, and summarize them in concise language.

3) Excerpt method. Bacon said that "notes make a man accurate", so to read a good book requires excerpts. "Insects" is lively and often uses anthropomorphic techniques, metaphors and rhetoric to express the insect world.

In the author's pen, the willow bull looks like a miser, wearing a short tuxedo dress that seems to be "missing the fabric"; Ants are "beggars" and cicadas are "industrious producers"; Dung beetles (dung shell lang) have an indomitable spirit. When reading, sketching, excerpting and appreciating wonderful words and sentences that describe wonderful and expressive words and sentences can absorb the essence of language and improve language literacy.

4) Comparative Method. Wang Yunwu said in "The Fourteen Methods of Reading" that comparison is "comparing the contents of various editions of the same book, or comparing the propositions, narratives, or styles of several similar books", and is "one of the most effective reading methods". "Insects" is a collection of Fabre's essays, which can identify one or more "topics", such as "prejudice", "love", "loyalty", "devotion", etc.

Select several articles in the book to read them in a concentrated manner, and compare and summarize them; You can also compare the writing object and artistic techniques, and choose the popular science work "King Solomon's Ring", which belongs to the same genre, for comparative reading.
