Chapter 35: The Glowing Mosquito Trap

Qiubai's guess was quite correct, and the change of mosquito trap grass soon came.

There aren't a few stars in the sky tonight, so it looks like tomorrow will be cloudy.

In the countryside where there are no street lights, the stars and moon in the sky are natural street lights, if these are not, the countryside is really pitch black, Qiubai and Orange Cheng each moved a stool to sit in the dam and chat casually, the time soon reached nine o'clock.

"Oh, brother, why is there no fragrance? Wouldn't those two mosquito traps die too? Orange asked suddenly worriedly.

Orange Cheng said that the fragrance is the smell of mosquito trap, after adapting to the fragrance, everyone understands that as long as there is a fragrance, it means that the mosquito trap grass is predatoring, usually this fragrance will continue until very late, just like last night when the two of them came back after catching frogs and can still smell it, now it is only nine o'clock, the mosquito trap grass actually did not emit a fragrance, and I can't help but make Orange Orange worry about whether the last two mosquito traps are also dead.

"Probably not." Qiu Bai was also uncertain, so he went into the house and turned on the light, let the light shine out of the window, and then prepared to bring out the searchlight that was charging, and heard Orange Cheng shouting outside: "Brother, come out quickly." ”

Thinking that something was going on outside, Qiubai rushed out and took a searchlight to shine up, but he didn't find anything, and the mosquito trap grass was still alive: "What's your name?" ”

"You turn off the lights, you can't see when the lights are on." Orange said anxiously.

Qiu Baihu turned off the searchlight suspiciously, and when he looked at it again, he could see the difference.

These two mosquito trap plants are more than four meters tall, which is already higher than the beams of the house, at this time Qiubai saw that there seemed to be light flashing in those leaves, although it was very weak, but Qiubai believed that his eyes were not wrong.

"Glowing?"

"Well, yes brother, these mosquito traps are glowing." Orange Orange became excited, "What about the ladder, I'm going to go up and have a look." ”

Qiubai also wanted to know what was going on, so she asked Chengcheng to wait, and she ran to Aunt Lu's house, but fortunately it was only nine o'clock, and Aunt Lu and they hadn't slept yet, they were watching TV, Niuniu saw Qiubai, she couldn't be entangled, Qiubai teased her for a while, and then borrowed the ladder.

Orange Orange is a man of action, so he climbed the ladder with a pout, and then came a waw wow exclamation: "Brother, it turns out that the mosquito catcher is glowing." ”

"Then why is there no fragrance?"

"I don't know, maybe this is another predatory skill of the Yagleman Dragon Grass?"

As far as Orange Orange knows, few plants in the plant kingdom will shine at night, because it is very dangerous in the wild at night, and the luminous body will undoubtedly attract many mammals, which is a disaster for plants that have no ability to protect themselves, and may be eaten by some herbivore.

As for the animals, there are a lot of them that can shine at night, as far as Orange Orange knows, there are more than a dozen, these animals will glow at night, they are generally predators, and the glow is to lure prey, and the mosquito trap grass actually emits light, does it mean that they are using another ability to lure prey?

After the orange came down, Qiubai also hurriedly went up to take a look, only to see that the wide leaves were covered with a lot of mosquito catcher, rippling slightly in it, with the faint starlight, the mosquito catcher flashed a luminous light at a frequency of once every ten seconds, the brightness of the glow was not bad, Qiubai tried it, and even the palm prints in the palm of his hand could be seen.

The two mosquito trap plants now have a total of nearly 40 leaves, each with about 20 pieces, so that the sky above the mosquito trap grass lights up.

"It's amazing, you still have this ability, you can make a plan for which method to prey on according to the surrounding environment, is this still a plant?" Orange Orange was excited with a little bit of unbelief.

The mosquito trap glows brightly, and it really looks like a bright light in this summer night, and the effect is obvious.

What is the most in the summer night in the countryside, there is no doubt that it is mosquitoes and moths, the brightness of the mosquito trap grass is not small, because it grows tall, so Qiubai believes that it can be seen even if it is several miles away, this is still calculated by human eyes, if it is an insect, it may be seen farther away, so soon after the mosquito trap grass shines, there are already mosquitoes and moths flying over one after another, flying over the mosquito trap grass, buzzing a large area.

"The scent of mosquito traps envelops the entire Repulse Bay at most, but the light emitted can even be seen by insects in Longtan Town, which means that the predation range has expanded countless times, and this is night, there are many more insects than during the day, and it seems that there will be no shortage of food." Qiubai came to such a conclusion.

"Well, there will definitely be no shortage of it, I feel that these mosquito traps are really smart, there are actually two ways to hunt prey, and they know how to use it flexibly, are the creatures of the Lost Century so powerful?"

Maybe you can't say how powerful they are, but you should say how good Tai Sui is, Qiu Bai thought secretly.

However, this mosquito trap incident is obviously quite perfect, not to mention the problem of food, now the mosquito trap grass has become a glowing plant, and the ornamental value is countless times greater, if the autumn white becomes a botanical garden, this is also a big landscape.

"These two mosquito traps are definitely the only ones in the world that can prey on insects by emitting light, but unfortunately they can't be brought back to study." Orange Orange was still thinking about her research.

Qiu Bai stood beside her, looking at the flashing light above, "What's the pity, if you want to bring it back, dig one and bring it back, I don't mind." ”

"I don't dare, if I die again, I will become a sinner in the biological world." Orange stuck out her tongue.

Qiubai could only be speechless, looking at how much of a sin it was to scare this girl.

Because of the light of the mosquito trap grass, the neighborhood is obviously lively, mosquitoes and moths not to mention, dragonflies and butterflies also fly a lot, a few nocturnal birds also began to circle nearby, to see their target is obviously the many insects here, Qiubai recognized two turtle doves, and a few sparrows, they sometimes swoop down, prey on insects and then stop on the nearby roof to eat insects.

"It's going to be a lively night now, and in the long run, it's going to be a major place for birds to hunt."

"Not necessarily, this is the home of mosquito traps, don't forget that mosquito traps can even be eaten by birds, and it is not easy for these birds to take food in their mouths."

The sound of the clear Suo Suo came, startling the birds, the two looked over there, the roof was pitch black, but they could see the light from the eyes of some animals at night, combined with the size to guess, this is a mouse, they also came to join in the fun, just now obviously wanted to sneak up on a few birds to open the meat, but there was no harvest.

"These guys are really haunted." Qiu Bai said hatefully, he didn't have a good impression of rats at all, "Why are they everywhere." ”

"As long as there are rats in inhabited places, their vitality is very tenacious, and the fecundity is also amazing, can give birth to eight litters a year, four to seven per litter, although we humans are the masters of the ball, but there is no way to take the mice, but they are a more important part of maintaining ecological balance." Of course, Orange Orange doesn't have a good impression of mice, but she can evaluate it fairly and fairly.

As he was talking, a squeaky sound sounded, and the mice suddenly dispersed, with the light that flashed from time to time, Qiubai and Orange Orange saw that a king snake appeared there, and the body had already entangled a mouse, obviously this king snake was the final big winner, maybe it was also hiding in the dark and preparing to prey on birds, and then the mouse automatically sent it to the door, and it was naturally laughed at.

Seeing this king snake, Qiu Bai's eyes shrank slightly, because he had already recognized it, this was black eyebrows.
