If humans become extinct tomorrow, insects may not know it at all, after all, this is their planet.
When human civilization is still chaotic and dark, there is a kind of life between creatures and humans fighting each other. They chew human houses to build their own colonies, using naturally possessed "high-tech" weapons, they are insects.
insects can be called the most powerful, useful, troublesome and successful animal on the earth. There are about 1.5 million species of animals named by humans, and insects account for two-thirds.
If one day aliens come to inspect the earth, they only define it in terms of quantity. In their eyes, the earth is actually dominated by insects.
26 years ago, the documentary " Microworld " was released. I have seen the tall buildings, and the director has used extraordinary shooting skills to lead us into the world of insects - In addition to the visual shock, there are also truths that nature cannot tell humans .
Every insect is a perfect micro machine, and every type of insect egg is a unique and complex sculpture... Those existences we ignore are so incredible .
" Earth is the planet of insects ". The more you learn about them, the more you will realize how all kinds of insects play an important role in the ecosystem, and these things are irreplaceable to humans.
naturalist , entomologist : Jean-Henry Fabre
Just like the entomologist Fabre , he is like a poet who tells the story of insects with anthropomorphic brushstrokes. He is called a great naturalist and a great writer, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1910.
is the world of insects, which makes him have a lifetime of passion and curiosity about the world and all things and life.
Scientist, "Father of Sociobiology": Edward Wilson
The big guys that must be mentioned, and of course Edward Wilson, who is familiar to readers of Zhanlu. He proposed the island biogeography to lay the theoretical foundation for modern species protection; created "social biology" to trigger great discussions between the academic community and the people; advocated the concept of " biodiversity ", making it an important concept that influences the world.
From boys playing with ant to the authority of ants research, from social biology to knowledge Darong . He started playing with ants at the age of 6. His related discoveries on ant communication and the social structure of ant colony established his authoritative position in biological research.
Every child has a time when he loves insects, and I never got out of it.
——Edward Wilson
Whose childhood memories, no insects that they are interested in? Perhaps as nature author Richard Love said: "Children need contact with nature just like sleep and food."
We have seen that for children, for a glimpse of the world of insects, is curiosity, interest and hobbies, and is the scientific journey that enters biology, starts naturalism, .
This time, Zhanlu specially invited Liu Ye , an insect research expert at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to jointly create "Liu Ye·Insect Lessons for Youths" .
Yes, even in a city park, we can observe insects. But to explore the mysteries in it, it requires a little "professional knowledge", after all, they are much more complex than humans.
Understand and decrypt insects. Liu Ye will also teach children how to raise and observe insects, such as how to build their own "insect paradise" at home, so as to more deeply understand the magical laws of nature.
This course comes from whom
in Madagascar Liu Ye, who was "tartted" by ring-tailed lemurs because he ate mangoes and ate them
- 3Insect research expert in the Institute of Zoology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered and named more than 20 kinds of insects
Liu Ye, an insect research expert in the Institute of Zoology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, has participated in more than 50 field scientific research projects, and has traveled to most provinces in the country and some Southeast Asian and African countries.
Currently, 14 new species of insects and 2 new species of fossil insects were discovered independently. There are five other species of insects named after Liu Ye to commend their contributions in the field of entomology.
So you can often hear the following conversations:
"Liu Ye, come two pounds!"
"This Liu Ye has broken his leg."
"This Liu Ye has no brains."
... (High-end bureau dialogue in the insect circle)
- Entomologist who can tell stories is a "small encyclopedia of insects"
rich experience in field science research and has led teenagers to the field for scientific research and inspection many times. Liu Ye is good at mobilizing children's enthusiasm for learning and is committed to the publicity and promotion of insect research photography and natural science popularization.
wrote popular insects for popular science magazines many times and was hired by many publishing houses as expert on insect professional knowledge review. He has participated in the compilation of 6 academic and popular science books, such as "Scientists Walking the World Series" and " Chinese Insect Ecology Picture Book ". What is the best course of
What are the best of this course
3 three major links, making the course professional and vivid
In order to let children experience the state of entomologists performing scientific tests in the wild more intuitively, Teacher Liu Ye specially arranged three courses.
1. Share the unknown secrets of insects and tell the entomology knowledge behind each insect. For example, do you know that mantis will still play boxing while dancing?
2. Exclusively share the wonderful encounter with insects in scientific research . At the same time, it will also teach children about insect classification, habits, etc.
3. Exclusive secrets for teaching insect research . The daily life of an entomologist allows children to conduct some insect research on their own in daily life.
- Personal scientific examination experience, observe these magical and beautiful "elves" from the first perspective, stimulate children's interest in exploration
Teacher Liu Ye has rich experience in field science examinations, photographs and records all kinds of fun insects, and will also keep them at home to observe. He will share many beautiful and fun photos in the course, which are difficult to see in other places.
- interprets insect knowledge and shares with children the "exclusive secrets" for studying insects
In the course, Teacher Liu Ye will reveal the methods and tools used when collecting insects in the wild, as well as tips for raising insects. It can not only cultivate children's observation skills, but also allow children to understand the survival rules of nature more deeply.
- Cultivate teenagers' Scientific thinking , helping them establish a more comprehensive insect cognition system
This course will not only share some knowledge on insect classification, habits, etc., but more importantly, from the perspective of humans, explore the relationship between insects and humans, nature, and history and culture, help children develop scientific thinking and build a more comprehensive and systematic insect cognition system.
- Parents learn with their children, have more common topics and interests, and build a harmonious parent-child relationship.
In the world of insects, the smallest stone can also become mountains, and the smallest puddle is as vast as the ocean. But even if it is small, they still live seriously.
Seven Star Ladybug Cool debut, snail snuggle snuggle snail snuggle 3 dung troll like Sisyphus, arched the dung balls without discouragement, caterpillar train marched to the end and twisted into a ball, beetles duel like a gladiator... With just one rain, their world is turned upside down. But they are still alive.
In such a wonderful world, time flows in another way: one hour is a day; one day is a season; one season is a life. If we pull the camera a little further, isn’t it the same for us humans? In order to understand the world, we should learn to listen to their whispers quietly.
——Lan~die "Micro World" documentary Douping
"Liu Ye·Insect Lesson for Teenagers" starts from common insect phenomena in life, explores the scientific principles behind it, lights up children's understanding and curiosity about the world, establish a more three-dimensional understanding of the ecological environment, and opens up infinite new possibilities.
