Chapter 679 Fallen Castle and Beetle Trunk

Fang Ye said: "Although the story of the yellow-breasted bunting is a bit sad, it is still very pleasant to welcome the yellow-breasted bunting as a guest in our rice fields.

In fact, this is what our local exhibition area wants to show. The city we live in used to look like this.

Yellow-breasted buntings sing in the fields, and tadpoles grow in streams.

Now, with the rapid advancement of urbanization, it not only squeezes the living space of local species, but also destroys the connection between people living in cities and nature, and various problems also arise.

The local exhibition area is to let everyone re-understand these animals that once lived with us, build a connection with nature, and think about the relationship between man and nature. "

"This kind of exhibition area is really super, and I will definitely visit it in the future."

"The paddy fields can attract yellow-breasted buntings to rest here. The zoo can achieve this level, just two words, awesome!"

With the recent drop in temperature, the green leaves of the maple trees are also tinged with yellow, swaying gently in the breeze. Between the gaps in the tree canopy, the golden sunlight shone little by little, and the road was also reflected in a golden light.

There is a pile of fallen leaves beside the road, and a display sign is erected next to it.

Some netizens asked curiously: "What is displayed here?"

Fang Ye said with a smile: "The local exhibition area is not only to display several local animals, but habitat is the foundation. Only with the habitat created by local plants can local biological communities appear.

This is where this pile of fallen leaves is displayed. It has a nice name called Fallen Leaves Castle.

Falling leaves are an important part of the natural cycle.

When the fallen leaves fall from the branches, although they end a journey, they continue their life in another form.

The decomposition of fallen leaves provides rich organic matter for the soil, which makes the soil loose. Due to the fermentation of microorganisms, even in winter, the pile of fallen leaves is very warm, and it is a castle for many small animals to overwinter.

The larvae of unicorns and some scarabs feed on fermented leaves and spend their larval stage in the leaves, so why people can't see them in the city is because of the lack of leaves. "

"I see!"

"Doraemon Nobita's favorite activity is to go to the back mountain to catch the unicorn, which is also the entertainment I have always longed for in my childhood."

Netizens thought it was very interesting, but they didn't expect a bunch of fallen leaves to be displayed?

A sharp-eyed netizen said: "What is that dead tree in front? Why does it seem to be hiding a mystery."

At first glance it looks like a tawny dead tree! There are pits and holes on it, as if they had been eaten by insects.

There is a clear cut mark in the middle of the trunk, like the cover of a book.

Fang Ye smiled and opened the bark like a book.

This display card is actually hidden in the trunk! The above is an introduction to the beetle.

Fang Ye stroked the worms on the tree trunk and said, "Everyone should have seen the long beetle, right? Did you catch it when you were a child?

Have you ever imagined what a tree that was eaten by beetles looked like? This is the result of beetles gnawing. "

Talking about Tianniu immediately brought back childhood memories of many people.

"When I was a child, there was a wasteland behind my mother's hospital. In the summer, insects and birds chirped. I caught long beetles, grasshoppers, and butterflies. Sometimes I was lucky and I could see stick insects. It was summer vacation. My mother went to work and I went there together, and we played there for a whole day, and I was sweating and having fun."

"In elementary school, you can often see long beetles! The black ones have spots on their backs, and the tentacles are black and white. One of my favorite ways to play is to grab the tentacles of long beetles and throw them to make them faint."

"In elementary school, I like to play with beetles. I once caught a big thief and put it on my hand to play with. As a result, I gave my hand a stubborn bite. Once the shadow is gone, I will never dare to catch it again.”

"Then you can't bite it back?"

"Haha, I've never been bitten when catching a beetle, just grab it on the back! It will make a 'creaky crunch' sound."

"The peach tree in my hometown was gnawed to death by beetles, and the tree is full of holes like this."

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen the Heavenly Bull for a long time!"

Fang Yedao: "Maybe in everyone's impression, longhorn beetles are a kind of pest that will vacate tree trunks and harm the environment.

In fact, each wild animal has a unique ecological significance. Adult female long beetles will bite the bark with their sharp upper jaws, leaving wounds on the branches and laying eggs. The hatched larvae move in the trunk, eroding long tunnels, and leaving them on the branches. Under the eye-catching wound.

Nutrient-rich sap flows out of these wounds, attracting small beetles to feed, and the beetles' nibbling and feeding can make the branches take longer to heal themselves and shed more sap.

The aroma of the sap in hot and humid weather attracts more and larger eaters, such as butterflies, stag beetles, and wasps, which in turn attract bird predators.

The inhabitants of these forests rely on the restaurants created by the beetles throughout the summer. "

Listening to his remarks, netizens couldn't help but imagine that in the scorching summer, longhorn beetles burrowed holes in tree trunks, and various insects and birds constantly visited here, creating a colorful small forest world.

Fang Yedao: "If it is a healthy natural forest, there is no need to worry about the harm of long beetles. They are part of a healthy ecosystem. If a single plantation forest is used, it may become a disaster because there is no natural enemy to restrain them. The more complex the ecosystem is. more stable."

Passing through a granary with a steep roof, there is a word "Feng" attached to the granary, which looks like a rural backyard atmosphere.

Next to the granary is the red fox exhibition area!

When I came here, I happened to meet the breeder ready to feed.

Fang Ye didn't rush in, and smiled, "Let's see how to feed the fox."

The breeder opened the cage door, and when the prince, who was usually not active in anything, got excited, he rushed up with his tail wagging, screaming "嘤嘤" incessantly.

The breeder sprinkled some food in the buffer zone and whistled: "Let's start the meal!"

Xiao Qiao was still a little reserved. Two foxes, Youyou and Tang Bao, also followed the prince into the buffer zone and ate on the ground.

The keeper then closed the buffer zone door and set it up in the playground so that it wouldn't be disturbed by the foxes.

The sugar bun is too lively, and always makes trouble for him when putting food, and the prince is even more eager to chase after him if he has something to eat.

Fang Yedao: "The box contains thawed white mice. If you put it directly, it will be easy to be found by the fox, so put it in the box, and then hide it for the fox to find it, which increases the difficulty of feeding and prolongs their foraging. time, this is the normal operation of food enrichment.”
