Fabres's Notes on Insects 1 I have a book that only records insects. This was written by French writer Fables. It is said that this book is very good, because it lets me know how cicadas shed their shells in the morning. How the dung beetle rolls the ball; How ants eat aphid secretions. There are two rows of very sharp serrated things under mantis's thigh. Behind these two rows of sharp serrated teeth, there are some big teeth, three of which are * * *. "Dendrolimus punctatus, headed by a probe, digs the soil slightly and seems to be measuring the properties of the soil". Can only be written by careful observation. It is not enough to observe carefully, but also to describe it in detail so that readers can understand it. For example, "this small tube looks a bit like silk, with a little red in white, and layers of scales are stacked on it, just like tiles on the roof." These detailed descriptions make the whole book more vivid, concrete and fascinating.
The insect world is wonderful! Before reading this book, I didn't know that tube worms would wear "clothes", that pine moths would predict the weather, and that little spiders would fly around with silk thread. Now I know everything. Some animals have a higher way of thinking than people. For example, when red striped bees leave food for their eggs, they immobilize and unconscious caterpillars instead of killing them. In this way, they can keep their food fresh for free. For another example, when you give up your waist to catch spiders and take eggs, you only catch small ones, so that each bug can be eaten up in just one meal and every meal can be fresh. How's it going? Be smart!
I fell in love with it for the first time. This is a film about insect fertility. Labor; Popular science books about hunting and death are very plain and humorous and very popular. The Insect Story is not only a scientific work about insects, but also a magnificent poem that eulogizes life. It makes me understand the spirit of doing everything I love, the elegant taste away from the hubbub, and more importantly, what is respect ... Fabres's insect story makes me feel unreal, the words are real, the preferences and characteristics of those insects, and the smell of insects are real, as if they were there. Insect figures and their chirps, which have been neglected by us for a long time, suddenly gather together, and I dare not breathe. Fables, let me see that insects have amazing similarities with us on many issues, such as life and death, labor and grazing. Entomology is not a world created by science, it is different from novels, it is the most basic thing! It was Fabres who devoted every minute to observing insects, observing the quiet, almost isolated loneliness and hardships. I looked up and treated the mystery of insect existence like looking up at the starry sky. It was my first time to enter the lifelike insect world.
So, I continued to read Insects. When I was reading Insects, I saw Fables carefully observing the caterpillar's journey. I saw that he was not afraid of danger to catch wasps. I saw him boldly assume that the action time and effect of high-nose bee venom needle were inferred step by step. The predation process of fireflies, the method of catching flies to deal with prey ... An experiment failed, and he reflected and planned the next experiment. Rigorous, bold and diligent style, this time, let me feel the greatness of science.
Fabres, an entomologist, cared for insects with human nature and worked hard to write the masterpiece Insect Story, which left a wealth of knowledge and interesting prose treasures for human beings. No wonder Lu Xun regarded insects as a model for talking about insect life.
I admire Fabres's spirit of exploring nature, which makes me feel that insects are closely related to the environment. The Insect Story is really a great work.
Fabres's Notes on Entomology 2 When I remembered this book, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. I opened the book Entomology again, a little guy who revealed the insect world. I opened it page by page, and every side was so delicate. The first page introduces the author of this book, Henri Fabres, adapted by Xiaomi. The second page is its factory information, editor-in-chief, editing, design, illustrations, publishing house and other contents, and the third page is of course a necessary catalogue, with a total of ten chapters.
The first paper introduces silkworms, which is a reportage paper made by Fabers, a young author, for silkworms kept in glass ponds, telling everyone about their living habits and residences. It's really interesting, and it also introduces the larvae of the silkworm!
The second article is about the dung beetle, which is a fat black beetle. They live in farmland, and dung beetles will roll the garbage on the roadside and in the wild into balls for food, so they may be regarded as beneficial insects ,
The third article is about cicadas. Let's have a look. There is a story that describes cicadas: throughout the summer, cicadas do nothing but sing all day, while ants are busy storing food. When winter came, cicada was hungry and had to borrow some food from his neighbor's house. As a result, his neighbors embarrassed him. It turns out that cicadas are sometimes embarrassed. No wonder cicadas can be heard all summer!
The fourth article is about the palace spider that can weave a web. They use cobwebs to hunt, which can be described as "sit back and relax." Most spiders do. Unlike other spiders, labyrinth spiders use sticky webs to hunt for food. Its silk is not sticky, but the beauty of its net lies in its mess. Look at that little locust. It is unstable and sinking.
The fifth is mantis, which is elegant and delicate in shape, light green in color and thin as gauze with long wings. The neck is soft and the head can rotate freely in any direction. It's really eye-catching, and even has a face that can make expressions. There is a terrible murderous look hidden under the gentle veil.
The sixth article is about the white-faced owl, which is the best in Cao Meng, both in singing and dignified style. This owl has a gray body, a pair of powerful cheeks and a broad ivory face. It's amazing!
The seventh is what we often call parasites. The parasite rushed from one house to another and waited patiently at the door. You can't think that they are visiting friends. Their worship of ghosts is not out of kindness. They are looking for opportunities to sacrifice others and live for themselves. So it is called a parasite.
The eighth article is about the red striped bee, which is exquisite in figure and thin in waist. Its abdomen is divided into two parts, the lower part is big and the upper part is small, and the middle seems to be connected by a thin line. A red belt is wrapped around its black belly. This is a red striped bee. Red striped bees are also special!
The ninth article is about crickets, as famous as cicadas. They live in the grass. Among the few model insects, the cricket performs quite well, especially its singing. How wonderful!
The last article is about lovely fireflies. Among all kinds of insects, few can emit light, but one is famous for emitting light. There is a luminous lamp hanging on the tail of this little thing, which people use to express their good wishes for a happy life. Fireflies are also very meaningful!
These ten parts of entomology introduce us to ten kinds of insects, their characteristics, living habits and predation methods, so that we can really understand the life of insects! They really had a wonderful time! I also want to see the world of insects.
Fabres's Notes on Entomology III. With respect and awe for life, he went deep into the insect world for more than 50 years, observed and experimented with insects all his life, recorded the instinctive characteristics of insects in a true, subtle and meticulous way, and presented the complicated insect world to the world with first-hand information. He is Fabres, a "madman" who devoted his life to insect research. Some people call him "Virgil in the insect world", while others call him "Homer of insects", but I think he is our teacher and a model of life, and his great scientific spirit is worth learning, inheriting and carrying forward.
We should learn from his persistence in science and be meticulous. Fabrice experimented with himself in order to find out the location of the caterpillar itch toxin and overturn the view that most people think it is on the epidermis. He caught some caterpillars from the outside, took a few drops of blood from their blood, dripped them on a blotting paper, and then fixed this small piece of paper on his arm with an impermeable bandage. In the middle of the night, a sharp pain woke him from his sleep. He was both happy and excited, because he proved that his inference was correct. He continued to speculate, where did the toxins in the blood come from? Could it be in urea? For this reason, he conducted another experiment. He concentrated the urea in the caterpillar feces into a few drops, then dripped it on blotting paper as before, and fixed it on his arm with a bandage for 2 hours, which made him itch at night. Because he finally proved his guess is correct through experiments, but he also paid a painful price for it. His arm has an ulcer, which itches and hurts, and he can't sleep all night. Later, in order to sleep for a while at night, he had to apply vaseline to the wound. On the third day, the swelling and pain became more serious and spread to large muscles. When you tap it gently with your finger, it will vibrate. Soon, there are more night bodies oozing like small water droplets, and there are more and more itching. Within five days, the skin of the wound has completely fallen off, revealing bright red muscles inside, which makes people who change his dressing twice in the morning and evening sick. The big wound didn't completely return to normal until four or five months later.
We should learn from his serious attitude towards science. In The Story of Insects, he used many experiments to prove his conjectures and inferences one after another, but at the same time there were many difficult and even unsolvable problems. In dealing with these questions, he didn't casually turn his guesses and inferences into the answers to these questions in the book, but told the readers frankly that he didn't understand these questions and he still had to explore the answers and deal with science. He always studies hard, studies hard.
We should learn from his careful observation of life. Insects are relatively small creatures in the whole biological world. They are not as big as elephants and giraffes, nor are they as easy to keep and observe for a long time as poultry. They are not as easy to study as trees and flowers, but Fabres chose to study them with his shining eyes and found them in any corner of nature. He picked up a magnifying glass to carefully observe their marriage customs, habits or any aspect, and wrote down their biographies for people to know.
Fabres is a scientist who devoted his life to the insect world. He has been quietly buried in the ground with his favorite insects, but he has left immortal works. He used his life to explain what a great scientific spirit is. He is the teacher of our life. We should learn from him, take our work seriously, devote our whole life to the cause we love, never let go, and have the courage to pursue it, so that our life can bear fruit and realize the value of life.
