Insecta spider reading experience 1 Insecta has broadened my horizons, and my perspective on the problem is different, and my understanding of the problem will be deeper than before. I think Entomology is a good book worth reading all my life. I think people who read Entomology carefully will know more.
Ever since I read the entomology written by Fabres, I have been deeply shocked by them.
Entomology is a masterpiece handed down from ancient times by Fabres, an outstanding French entomologist and writer, and also an immortal world masterpiece. Ba Jin, a famous writer, said: "It combines the author's lifelong research achievements and life feelings in one furnace, observes the insect nature with human nature, and turns the insect world into a beautiful article for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts."
In the form of prose, the author recorded his achievements and experiences in insect research all his life, and guided the re-certification, insect nature and integration in natural science with humanistic spirit, making the insect world a literary form for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts, and writing the topic of small insects into a masterpiece with hierarchical significance and all-round value. Such a work is really unprecedented in the world. No entomologist has such superb literary expression ability, and no writer has such profound entomological attainments. If Fables was not so tenacious, our world would never have read about an insect.
There is a deeper reason to say that we are lucky. Fabres is tenacious because he has a certain spirit. If he abandoned it and lost his spirit, there would be no entomology in this world.
The detailed description of insects in The Tale of Insects makes people admire Fabres's superior insight, such as the embarrassing appearance of cicadas and ants begging for food: "Ants are standing on the threshold, with bags of wheat beside them, and their backs to the cicadas begging. The cicada stretched out its paw. Oh, I'm sorry, it's its hand. Wearing a18th century wide-brimmed hat with a guitar and piano under her arm, the skirt was blown to her stomach by the cold wind, which is the image of a cicada. " This description of begging is really vivid.
What is even more impressive is Fabres's description of the inverted posture of insects: for example, in a metal cage, mantis larvae stay in one place without changing their posture. It hooks the net with the tips of four hind paws, with its back facing down and motionless, and hangs high on the top of the cage. The four hanging points bear the weight of the whole body. The handstand posture is very difficult, but the handstand posture of flies is very different. Although the fly also hangs on the ceiling, it always takes time to relax, fly casually, walk in a normal posture, stick its stomach to the ground and spread its limbs in the sun. Fabres's description of insects is really amazing. I want to ask, that man has never seen a fly stand upside down, but who will pay attention? However, Fabres described thousands of insects in Insects, which is the success of Fabres.
However, Fabres's success was not achieved overnight. He faced two main problems in his life: prejudice and poverty. Farbers was diligent and enterprising, and changed from a descendant of a farmer to a middle school teacher. He has taught in middle schools for more than 20 years, studied insects and plants in his spare time and published excellent papers. Despite this, his dream of "going to a university lecture hall" has never been realized, and his desire to open an independent insect laboratory has never been supported. Educational and scientific authorities look down on his self-taught degree and don't understand his research direction. This indifference is in tune with some people's hypocrisy, vulgarity and jealousy, which is also a long-standing prejudice against Fabres. Fables was born in poverty, worked by himself, and finished primary and secondary schools. When I grow up, I only rely on the salary of a middle school teacher, and I have to live with a family of seven. I was poor in the first half of my life and barely had enough food and clothing in the second half. However, it declared that it would not yield to "prejudice" and "poverty". He is still diligent in self-study, constantly expanding his knowledge reserve, constantly observing experiments, constantly obtaining new achievements, and fighting back against "prejudice" again and again. He squeezed out pieces of money and bought altars, jars, boxes and cages. Day after day, month after month, year after year, he made great research materials, turning the "poverty" of teachers into the wealth of entomology.
Entomology is the representative work of Fabres, a famous French entomologist and biologist. Fables was born in a small village in the French countryside. He likes nature since he was a child. He likes fish, colorful shells and flying insects in the water. He comes to the river to play almost every day.
Once, when he was playing by the river, he saw many beautiful shells, so he picked them up and put them in his pocket. When I came back, my father found me. I was beaten. Mother said, "All day, I just picked up some useless things to put in my pocket and even burst my pocket.
What's the future? Throw them away "Fabres came to the front of the trash can, don't want to throw. When my father saw it, he hit Fables' little hand hard and had to let it go. But this experience did not dispel his curiosity about the world, his love for nature and his love for insects, but he became more determined and eventually became a great entomologist. With respect and awe for life, Fabres went deep into the insect world for more than 50 years, and spent his whole life observing and experimenting on insect species, habits, even foraging and marriage customs, and recorded the instinctive characteristics of insects in detail, so that people could master the first-hand information of insects at that time. Fabres used insects to describe people and reflect on social life, and his wise philosophical thinking stood out.
The famous French dramatist rostain once commented: "This great scientist thinks like a philosopher, looks like an artist and writes like a writer." Therefore, he was awarded the title of "Virgil of the Insect World" by the French scientific and literary circles and became one of the candidates for Nobel Prize in Literature. Unfortunately, the great "insect" died before the judges made a final decision. But he left people a huge sum of money-insects.
Hugo called him "Homer in the insect world". Romain rolland called him "a master of language who has mastered the secrets of countless bugs in this field". Among them, the geometry of insects attracts me the most. Isn't "geometry" a common noun in mathematics? Why is it here? I read on with doubts.
It turns out that pebble bees will build a perfect geometric tower before nesting. They scraped powder from the hardest part of the road and mixed it with saliva to make mortar, which made the building stronger. In order to save cement, pebbles will be mixed into the mortar before solidification to make the building look more beautiful. When building, the normal circular outline has disadvantages, which will make the building out of balance. So what? Insect architects have overcome this by transforming the existing space.
Black wasp pottery is very advanced. It is shaped like a circular arch and a belly, similar to the pavilions in the East and the Kviena Cathedral in Moscow. There is an opening at the top of the dome, which is the passage for larvae to feed on caterpillars. When the grain is full and an egg larva hangs in the hole, the corner of the hive will be blocked by a piece of clay.
Usually black wasps decorate the dome with big stones mixed with soil. Decorate the enclosure with a flat stone or a small snail to make the building look particularly elegant. This is the geometry of insects. It is a miracle that a small bug can build such a great project, which is impressive.
Vegetarian insects are also one of the famous articles in Insects. People know how to eat, so do insects. But people are very particular about food, while insects have no such restrictions. Carnivorous insects include: golden scorpion beetle, mud bee and so on.
Vegetarian insects include: black thorn plum elephant, spotted chrysanthemum elephant, hazelnut elephant, swallow tail grass elephant and so on. Maybe this is the difference between them and humans. This is a classic book combining science with literature. Although it has gone through a hundred years, it is still an insurmountable monument.
After reading Fabres's Entomology, I learned a lot of knowledge and truth that I didn't know before.
There are so many mysteries in the insect world! I know: how cicadas shed their shells in the morning; Dung beetles is how I rolled the dung ball; How ants eat aphid secretions. It is also clear that the term "the son of a moth" is wrong. Bees catch caterpillars not as their own sons, but to arrange food for their offspring, and so on.
Entomology records the life of insects, which is a popular science book describing the birth, labor, hunting and death of insects. Its simple words are fresh and natural; Humorous narration makes people laugh ... humanized bugs appear, what a strange and interesting story! Insect Story left me with no illusions. Those specific and detailed words make me feel the presence of magnifying glasses, humidity, stars and insect smells from time to time, as if I were there. The figures of insects and their arrogant chirping, which I have neglected for too long, gathered at once. I held my breath and then let them penetrate the darkness inside me. Entomology not only accurately describes the life of insects, but also reflects the social life of human beings through the insect world, which makes me realize a lot of philosophy of life.
Parasite, which seems to be spurned by everyone in the world, has also become the research object of Fables. In people's eyes, they are naturally lazy and rely on the fruits of other people's labor to maintain their own survival. However, Fables made different voices while compromising this view. He believes that in essence, parasitism is not a kind of enjoyment, but a hunting behavior. On the surface, it is to enjoy success, but in essence, the parasite has paid the labor. He also gave several examples to prove this point. Cleared the parasite family for ever.
Spiders weave webs. "Even with tools like compasses and rulers, no designer can draw a more standard web page." Spiders have perseverance and never lose heart even if they fail. Do we humans also need to have this spirit?
Fabrice's book, at first glance, seems unremarkable, but in-depth study will reveal that fabrice is not only an entomologist, but also a writer! In the author's pen, the willow beetle looks like a miser, wearing a short dovetail dress that seems to be "short of cloth"; Little beetle "selfless dedication for future generations, heartbreaking for children"; The little sparrow bitten by a poisonous spider will also "eat happily, and if we feed it slowly, he will even cry like a baby." What a lovely elf! No wonder Lu Xun regarded insects as a model of "talking about insect life".
Therefore, people praised Fabres for "thinking like a philosopher, looking like an artist, feeling and writing like a writer".
Every life is an immortal legend, and there is a wonderful story behind every legend. Entomology is a story book that records these wonderful legends. I hope everyone will read it carefully, so that we can feel that the insect world is closely related to the natural environment, and let us feel the author's originality and subtle observation. Entomology is not only full of reverence for life, but also contains some spirits. That is the spirit of pursuing truth and seeking truth, and that is the great spirit of Fabres.
