Izimvemvane zibizwa nangokuthi amabhu. Kodwa-ke, leli gama alihlangene negama elithi "goqa", kodwa ekuqaleni livela egameni elithi "flutter"!
Izici
Zibukeka kanjani izimvemvane?
Izimvemvane zibonakala kalula: zinomzimba omncane, omncane onamaphiko amane amakhulu, avame ukuba nemibala noma ahlukahlukene. Umbala wamaphiko wenziwa ngezikali zombala ezinhle kakhulu. Ezinye izimvemvane zinamazenga anombala acishe abe yisigidi emaphikweni azo.
Yingakho izimvemvane nezihlobo zazo eziseduze zibizwa nangokuthi izimvemvane ezinamaphiko. Izikali ezinemibala zakha amaphethini amahle angasetshenziswa ukuhlukanisa izinhlobo ezahlukene zezilwane. Emakhanda azo amancane, izimvemvane zinamehlo ahlangene angakhiwa amalensi noma ama-facets angawodwana angaba ngu-30,000. Izinzwa ezinde, ezingabukeka njengezintambo, amakamu, noma ama-club, nazo ziyamangaza.
Zihlala kuphi izimvemvane?
Izimvemvane zisakazwa emhlabeni wonke. Kuphela ezindaweni ezibandayo kakhulu azikho izimvemvane. Izimvemvane zitholakala kakhulu ezimfeni, emasimini, nasezihlahleni, emaphethelweni amahlathi nasemahlathini. Izimvemvane zingahlala cishe noma kuphi lapho izitshalo ezimila khona.
Yiziphi izinhlobo zezimvemvane ezikhona?
Ngezinhlobo ezingaba ngu-150,000, izimvemvane noma izinambuzane zesikali zakha iqembu elikhulu phakathi kwezinambuzane. Izimvemvane zihlanganisa amabhu, amabhu, amabhu, amabhu, amabhu, amabhu, amabhu. Ezinye izimvemvane zibizwa nangokuthi izikhova, amabhere, amaribhoni, noma omama bezindlu.
Ezinye izimvemvane, njengovemvane lwesikhova oluvela eMelika Ephakathi neseNingizimu, zinophawu olukhulu ngaphansi kwamaphiko azo olufana neso lesikhova. Yingakho zibuye zibizwe ngokuthi yizikhova. Leli “so” lenzelwe ukuvimbela izinyoni ezifuna ukudla izimvemvane. I-Marbled White nayo inephethini ephawulekayo emaphikweni ayo: iphethini emnyama nemhlophe ikhumbuza - njengoba igama liphakamisa - ye-chessboard.
Ziba neminyaka emingaki izimvemvane?
Nakuba isigaba sezibungu singahlala iminyaka eminingana kwezinye izimvemvane, amabhu awavamile ukuphila isikhathi esingaphezu kwamasonto amabili. Kukhona ngisho nezimvemvane eziphila isikhathi esifushane kangangokuthi azidingi ngisho nokudla.
Kodwa ezinye izimvemvane, njengenundu lepikoko, zingalala lapho sezikhulile ezindaweni ezingaphansi, ezindlini ezingaphansi, ezihlahleni ezingenalutho, noma kwezinye izindawo ezivikelekile. I-Admiral indizela eningizimu yeYurophu ebusika. Ukusuka lapho undizela e-Central Europe entwasahlobo.
Ukuziphatha
Ziphila kanjani izimvemvane?
Izimvemvane ziyandiza zisuka ezimbalini ziye kwelinye zifuna ukudla. Ezinye izimvemvane, izimvemvane zangempela, zenza lokhu emini, ezinye zidla kuhwalala, kanti ezinye ebusuku.
Ezinye, njengovemvane lwesikhova, zingabemvemvane kodwa azikuthandi ukukhanya kwelanga okukhanyayo ngakho-ke zisebenza ngokuyinhloko ekuseni nakusihlwa phakathi nokuhwalala. Zichitha usuku zihlezi phezu kweziqu nasemagatsheni, zisonge amaphiko azo ngendlela evamile. Ngamehlo azo ahlangene, angabona ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet. Thina bantu asikwazi ukukubona lokhu kukhanya. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izimbali zibukeka zihluke kakhulu kuzimvemvane kunathi.
Kodwa noma kunjalo, uvemvane luyazi ngaso leso sikhathi ukuthi luyayithanda yini imbali lapho luhlala kuyo. Ngoba izimvemvane zinezitho zokunambitha ezizwela kakhulu emilenzeni yazo yangaphambili. “Banuka” izikhathi ezingaphezu kwe-1000 kunathi thina bantu. Ezinye izimvemvane zizivikela ezitheni ngokukhiqiza ubuthi. Umzimba wenyoni yesihlahla esimhlophe uqukethe ama-alkaloid anobuthi obuqinile kangangokuthi ayidliwa izitha njengezinyoni.
Izimvemvane ezinephethini enhle ngokumangazayo zinamaphiko angaphezulu kwamasentimitha angu-15 futhi zitholakala kusukela eningizimu yeChina naseMalaysia kuya ePhilippines naseThailand.
Njengezinye izinambuzane, izimvemvane zindiza zisuka embalini ziye kwesinye futhi zisuka embalini ziye kwelinye, zithutha impova isuka kwesinye isitshalo iya kwesinye. Lokhu kumpova kubalulekile ezitshalweni eziningi ukuze zikwazi ukuzala. Izimvemvane zivame ukubonakala zihlezi elangeni zivule amaphiko azo. Ezinye izimvemvane zisebenzisa lokhu ukuze zifudumale imizimba yazo.
Onodoli abenzi lutho. Abadli. Awunyakazi. Kulesi sigaba sokukhula kwezimvemvane, isibungu esibushelelezi esimise okwesoseji siguqulwa sibe inundu elithambile elikwazi ukundiza. Kodwa lokhu kwenzeka kungekho muntu okwazi ukukubona ngaphandle.
Amacimbi ayimishini yokudla emsulwa. Kufanele baqoqe imisoco abayidingayo ukuze baphenduke uvemvane ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngesikhashana nje, bandisa isisindo sabo ngokuphindwe kayinkulungwane. Ngenxa yalokho, abanaso isikhathi sokwenza noma yini ngaphandle kokudla.
Zizalana kanjani izimvemvane?
Izimvemvane ezihlukene ziziphatha ngendlela ehlukile uma zifuna umaqondana. Endabeni yepigogo ne-admiral, abesilisa bathatha indawo futhi baxoshe abahlaseli. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amaSwallowtails ahlala ezindaweni eziphakeme futhi alinde lapho ukuba insikazi indizazele. Izimvemvane eziningi zikhipha amakha lapho umngane womshado esondela. Izimpondo zinezitho ezinhle kakhulu zokuhogela. Ngemva kokukhwelana, eyensikazi izalela amaqanda, lapho izimvemvane zikhula khona ngezigaba ezihlukahlukene. Izibungu ezichanyuselwa emaqandeni ovemvane zibizwa ngokuthi amacimbi. Anamehlo akhomba amancane ayishumi nambili kanye nemizwa emincane emakhanda azo.
Emzimbeni wayo omise okwesoseji kunemilenze emifushane, eqinile, isibungu esiyisebenzisela ukugaqa. Ukuze zingadingi ukudla, izimvemvane zezinsikazi zibekela amaqanda azo ngokuqondile esitshalweni sokudla sezibungu. Ukuze uguquke ube uvemvane, isibungu kufanele siqhume.
Uphotha umucu omude emzimbeni wakhe azimboze ngokuphelele. Leligobolondo libizwa ngokuthi “umfece” kanti “i-pupa” iyisiteji sokuguqulwa sibe uvemvane. I-mandibles yesibungu iba isiqu, imilenze emide yezimvemvane iphuma emilenzeni eqinile futhi amehlo ahlangene avela emehlweni aqondile.
Lapho ukuguqulwa kovemvane sekuphelile, igobolondo le-pupa lizoqhuma futhi uvemvane luchamuse. Kodwa akakwazi ukusuka ngokushesha ngoba amaphiko asashwabene. Yingakho uvemvane kufanele luzipompe nge-hemolymph - njengoba igazi lezinambuzane libizwa kanjalo. Lokhu kuzovula amaphiko. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ekuqaleni zithambile kakhulu futhi kufanele ziqale ziqine emoyeni. Kudlula amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokuba uvemvane lundize.
