In Chongqing countryside, dragonflies are called "Tintin cat." Head large, carnivorous, "Tintin" like its shape, you can imagine the sky at low altitude flying one "D" word flying cat majestic momentum. But I prefer it another name - "lighting", which in the name of highly dynamic and color, as if a light flame flying on the wind.
Dragonflies and colorful multi-color, they fly in the sky, maybe it makes you happened illusion that graffiti kids which will put all kinds of paint spilled indiscriminately in the air. Among those aquamarine black and gold striped clothes tucked, called "big cat", the title Bi Wei dragonfly; blood in general, like a little lipstick-like embellishment in the air, called red dragonfly; addition to yellowish brown yellow dragonfly , silver white dragonfly, which are more common; Qin color purple dragonflies, blue dragonflies are relatively rare; most rare black dragonfly, years later, I was in a biology book unexpected find it real name - Heihe - is a suborder dragonflies, like a flower black flower, is unwilling to open easily.
This dragonfly has always been not to participate in group activities, living in the mountains ditch, witches as quietly into the nature, rather abruptly found out, it will make your heart suddenly a tight creeps. Somehow, my most memorable is this Heihe , that took the life of the original atmosphere of the black I do not know who painted it. Now think about it, I was a kid killing so many dragonflies, but never killed a Heihe . They always had the arrogant look, awesome. Single person I do not dare go into the depths of the valley, as if from Heihe messenger underworld, it appeared, the whole deserted valley would seem particularly mysterious, deep and desolate.
In the countryside, one to wheat harvest, cut the rice season, Insects, moths, gnats home wandering around lost, we can see dragonflies gather in the crops, over Yuanba, and merrily hunting. Whenever this time, we are restless. Sprouts general one kid, in the ground, the Yuanba carnival to chase. No one who is the beneficial insects to educate us, who is the concept of pests, there is no fortune teller to predict the future to us, Mr. sky desolate scene. We hand-held bamboo sticks, Ying empty Flurry, launched a massacre on beneficial insects. Ground soon covered with the bodies of a large dragonfly, as if the worst happened plane crash. Our aim is to use the bodies of dragonflies to feed the ants, the ants but in fact do not need to feed so many dragonflies.
Dragonfly larvae called water scorpion, dark brown, looks vicious, just like a crocodile reduced several times, happy to play in the rice fields, eating insects larvae class, eat tadpoles, tadpoles grow into frogs after began to take revenge, draft scorpion and dragonfly. |
