Praying mantis: aggressive, with sickle-like forefeet (snapping feet), female praying mantis usually eats male mantis after mating. Good at ambushing prey, the color of the body is usually concealed, and the inner color of the wings is more vivid, when encountering natural enemies, suddenly open the wings, revealing the bright inside, intimidating the enemy.
Spiders (not insects, but they are also described in insect records): usually live in shady places, and will weave elaborate webs to hunt flying insects, while spiders will hide to the side and wait. When the prey falls into the trap, the spider will wrap the prey with silk and inject venom to kill the prey and decompose the prey carcass, which the spider will store and enjoy when hungry.

Characteristics of life:It is a predatory insect that likes to catch live insects, especially small insects in motion. Young nymphs before the 3rd instar are difficult to raise successfully if there are no live insects.
Therefore, before the mantis egg masses hatch, feed for live insects, such as aphids and houseflies, should be prepared. Aphids are highly fertile and easy to raise.
Cruciferous plants can be planted in flower pots or small plastic pimples in advance, and after the seedlings emerge, inoculated with vegetable aphids, so that they can reproduce and be used for later use. Other feed insects include large wax borer, corn borer, rapeseed butterfly, soil element, mealworm and so on.
Introduction Dung beetles are black and slightly shiny, with a male body length of centimeters and a slightly smaller female. The female has a fan-shaped front of the head,** with a large and upward creeping angular process at the base. There are compound eyes posteriorly, the dorsal plate of the thorax is densely covered with well-proportioned small rounded processes, the feet are stout, and there are rows of maroish burrs on both sides of the tarsal joints of the middle and hind feet.
Most dung beetles are dung-eating, feeding on animal feces and have the title of scavengers in nature. The feces are often formed into balls, rolled to a reliable place to hide, and then eaten slowly. A dung beetle can roll a ball of dung that is much larger than its body.
During the breeding season, female dung beetles make dung balls in the shape of pears and lay eggs in them.
"Insects" is a book about the life of insects, involving more than 100 kinds of insects, such as dung beetles, ants, and Sisyphus insects. In this world, there are about 1 million species of insects known to mankind, accounting for 5 6 of all known animal speciesAnd there are still millions of unknown insects that are still waiting to be discovered and understood. In the mid-19th century, in addition to teaching at school, Fabre and his children observed all kinds of insects in the fields, named them, and eulogized them. >>>More
