"Children, do you know how many legs an insect has?"
"I know, four?"
"No, all insects have six legs!"
On January 10, the young reporter of the Information Times came to the Grandview Rainforest Ecological Botanical Garden, walked into the jungle, had an intimate dialogue with nature, and felt the infinite charm of the rainforest.
"The bird on the water is so beautiful, what kind of animal is this?" "What's the name of that animal lying in a tree?" Entering the botanical garden, the young reporter was stimulated by this "natural ecosystem" with great biodiversity, full of curiosity about the animals and plants seen. Under the leadership of the explainer, the young reporters explored the forest adventures, wetland secrets, rainforest adventures, insect learning camps, desert imaginations, succulent forests and other attractions of the botanical garden one by one, and started their rainforest exploration journey.
"Ordinary stick insects are very good at camouflage insects, very good at mimetic, with perfect protective colors, can avoid the eyes of predators such as small bird mantises, and rely on 'hide-and-seek' to protect themselves."
"The leaf worm is another type of stick insect, which does not grow into slender branches like other stick insects, but like a piece of green leaf, usually hiding between the branches and leaves, and is used to escape the predators of predators."
In the insect learning camp, the explainer introduced in detail the characteristics and growth process of ordinary stick insects, giant spiny stick insects, leaf worms, "small" leafhoppers, caterpillars, jade ribbon butterflies, etc., and showed them to the young reporters one by one to watch carefully, and many small reporters also boldly took it over and put it on their hands to touch, and had a close contact with the insects, and felt the wonderful insect world at zero distance.
