Each flytrap usually lays only about two or three eggs, and catches a dead fly for each of her small white eggs, and after about 24 hours, this small egg can hatch into a small worm under the careful incubation of the flytrap mother, and the worm grows up by eating the dead flies that its mother has prepared for her.

After about two or three days, the larvae of the flytrap are almost finished eating the dead fly, and the mother bee is not very far from her home, sometimes she will suck a few mouthfuls of ** from the stamen to satisfy her hunger, and sometimes she will sit happily on the sand under the sun, obviously, she is guarding her home.

The flytrap will often rake some sand from the door of the house, and then fly away again, and then fly back after a while.

However, no matter how long she was outside, she never forgot to estimate how long the food in her cottage would last, and as a mother, her instinct would tell her when her child's food was almost finished, and she would go back to her house.

As for her home, it looked the same as any other sand from the outside, with no obvious holes or markings, but she knew exactly where her home was.

Every time the flytrap came back to visit her child, she always brought back some rich gifts, this time she brought back a big fly, and after she sent the fly into the underground house, she crawled out again until she needed to send a third fly, and the interval was very short, because the larvae always had a good appetite, and if the mother bee slacked off, her baby would starve.

This lasted for more than ten days, the larvae kept growing, the demand for food was increasing, and the mother bee kept sending food in, and finally, the larvae had grown very fat.

The mother redoubled her efforts to find food to feed the old child, who could not feed herself, until she was fully grown and no longer needed to be prepared for it. According to rough estimates, a larva needs to eat as many as seventy or eighty flies when it grows up.

The larvae of the flytrap bees feed on the food left to them by their mothers and grow up slowly.

After half a month, the larva begins to cocoon, but there is not enough silk in its body, so it must be mixed with sand grains to increase its hardness.

The larvae piles up the remnants of the food in a corner of the hut, sweeps the ground first, and then sets up beautiful white silk between the walls, which it first climbs into a net and then begins its next work.

A hammock must be made in the center of the net, and this hammock resembles a bag, closed at one end and with a small hole at the other.

Half of the larvae of the flytrap bee stretch out of the bed, and use their mouths to pick the sand grains one by one, the too large sand grains cannot be moved, and the too small sand grains do not work, after selecting the suitable sand grains, and then the sand grains are inserted one by one, and spread evenly around the hammock bag, just like a plasterer inserts a stone into the plaster.

Until now, one end of the cocoon is still open, and the cocoon must be sealed, and then woven into a hat with silk, the size of which is just enough to cover the opening of the cocoon, and on top of this, a grain of sand is also embedded, and at this point, the cocoon can be said to be finished.

However, the flytrap bees also have to do some repairing work in their cocoons, applying a layer of grout to the walls to prevent their delicate skin from being scratched or scratched by grains of sand.

From then on, the larvae can sleep peacefully, and soon become an adult flytrap, just like its mother.

Not long after, on the small beach by the lake, Su San found another kind of wild bee - a petite white-striped bee, with a thin waist, a delicate figure, and its abdomen is divided into two segments, large below and small at the top, and it seems to be connected by a thin line in the middle, and a white belt is wrapped around the black belly: this is the white-striped bee.

The nests of the white-striped bees are built in loose and easy-to-drill mud, and the sun-drenched mudflats on both sides of the path are ideal for the white-striped bees to live in.

The white-striped bee usually builds a vertical hole in the earth, like a well, the diameter is only as thick as a goose feather tube, about two inches deep, and the bottom of the hole is a small isolated room, specially designed for laying eggs, like other bees, it uses its forefeet as a rake, and its mouth as a digging tool.

Every ten minutes, Su San saw a white-striped bee appear at the entrance of the cave, with some garbage or a grain of sand in its mouth, and always liked to throw this garbage a few inches away, so as to keep his residence and the surrounding environment neat and clean.

When the white-striped bee has dug its hole completely, it looks at the small beach to see if there are any grains of sand suitable for its needs. If not, the white-striped bee looks nearby until it is found. What it needs is a flat, slightly larger grain of sand than its opening, which it can cover into a door.

The next day, the white-striped bee came back from hunting a caterpillar from outside, and without hastiness, opened the door and dragged the prey inside.

This door looks exactly like any other grain of sand, and no one would have thought that there would be food hidden underneath it, and this is actually the home of a white-striped bee, and only the white-striped bee itself can identify its home.

After opening the door and unhurriedly lowering the prey to the bottom of the burrow, the white-striped wasp began to lay eggs on it, and then blocked the burrow with the sand that it had previously hidden nearby.

This sounds a bit like the story of "Open Sesame" in "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".

How did the white-striped wasp catch the larvae of a gray moth, most of which live underground?

By chance, Su San happened to see a white-striped bee busy under a bush of wild chrysanthemums.

The white-striped bee digs up the soil from the roots of the wild chrysanthemum, pulls out the grass around it, and then burrows its head into the loose clods.

Then it hurried from here to there, peering into every crevice, not to build a nest for itself, but to find food underground, like a hound's search for a hare in its burrow.

The larvae of the gray moth sensed the movement above and decided to leave their nest and climb to the ground to see what was going on, and the thought killed it.

Who knows, the white-striped bee has been waiting for it to appear.

Sure enough, as soon as the larvae of the gray moth came out of the ground, the white-striped wasp rushed out and grabbed it, and then lay down on its back, like a skilled surgeon, unhurriedly prick every section of the caterpillar with its thorns.

Stabbing down from front to back, not missing at all, the skillful movement skills of the white striped bee are breathtaking.

Unexpectedly, an insect can do such an incredible thing by observation, which shows that it is very familiar with the nervous system of its captive, and knows which nerve centers to prick to numb the captive's nerve and not cause death.

This guy is so smart that he doesn't know where he learned this complex technique? Could it be that before it was born, there was a god in the dark who gave it this ability? Nature is amazing! Su San couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
