| 单词 | 小昆虫 |
| 释义 | 〔earwig〕In an Anglo-Norman text written around the beginning of the 15th century we are told that elephants guard their ears diligently against flies and earwigs.Elephants have good cause to protect themselves against these insects if, as folklore has it, earwigs go through the ear into the head.The earwig, however, prefers to dine on things such as flowers, fruit, and small insectsrather than brain tissue.Folklore is responsible, though, for the insect's name,which was formed in Old English fromēare, the Old English source of our word ear, and wicga, "insect,” a word presumably related to our word wiggle. 大约在15世纪初期，有一本盎格鲁·诺曼的课本提到大象很小心地保护它们的耳朵，以防苍蝇和蠼螋。民间传说讲，蠼螋会通过耳朵进入大脑，大象防范这些昆虫是很有理由的。但是蠼螋喜欢吃花朵、水果及一些小昆虫，而不是大脑组织。然而民间传说却产生了这种昆虫的名字，当时是由古英语词eare ，即我们的 ear 的古英语词源及可能和现代词 wiggle 有关的意为“昆虫”的 wicga 组成的 〔catchfly〕Any of several plants of the generaSilene and Lychnis, native chiefly to the Northern Hemisphere and having white, pink, red, or purplish flowers and sticky stems and calyxes on which small insects may become stuck. 捕蝇草：一种蝇子草属 和 剪秋罗属 植物，原产地主要在北半球。开白色、粉红色、红色或紫色花朵，茎和花萼有粘性，会粘住小昆虫 〔phylloxera〕Any of several small insects of the genusPhylloxera that are related to aphids, especially P. vitifoliae, a widely distributed species very destructive to grape crops. 根瘤蚜；葡萄根瘤蚜：一种根瘤蚜属 的小昆虫，与蚜虫有亲缘关系，尤指广泛分布的、对葡萄类作物极有害的一个品种 葡萄根瘤蚜 〔gallfly〕Any of various small insects, such as the gall midge or gall wasp, that deposit their eggs on plant stems or in the bark of trees, causing the formation of galls in which their larvae grow.瘿蝇：一种小昆虫，例如瘿蚊或瘿蜂，他们把卵产在植物的茎内或树皮内，幼虫在里面生长并产生虫瘿〔acarophobia〕An abnormal fear of mites, other small insects, or worms.恐螨症：一种对螨及其他小昆虫或虫不正常的恐惧〔booklouse〕Any of various small, often wingless insects of the order Psocoptera (or Corrodentia), some species of which feed on stored flour products, paper, or bookbindings.虱：任一种啮虫科（或腐蚀科）中的各种各样小的通常没有翅膀的小昆虫，它们中的一些类别以存放的面粉制品、纸张或捆书绳为食〔butterwort〕Any of numerous carnivorous plants of the genusPinguicula, having a rosette of basal leaves that are coated with a sticky secretion that traps small insects for digestion. 捕虫堇属植物：一种捕虫堇属 食虫植物，生有蔷薇花形基叶，上面覆有用以捕捉并消化小昆虫的粘性分泌物 〔midge〕Any of various similar dipteran insects, such as the biting midges of the family Ceratopogonidae.蠓：一种类似双翅目小昆虫，如双翅科中咬人的小昆虫〔bladderwort〕Any of various mostly aquatic carnivorous plants of the genusUtricularia, having small, specialized, urn-shaped bladders that trap minute insects and crustaceans. 狸藻属植物：一种水生狸藻属 食肉植物，有能捕捉微小昆虫和甲壳类动物的体积小且特殊的壶形囊 〔midge〕Any of various gnatlike flies of the family Chironomidae, found worldwide and frequently occurring in swarms near ponds and lakes.双翅目小昆虫：一种双翅科中咬人的小昆虫，遍布于世界各地，通常在水塘和湖泊附近成群出现〔aphid〕Any of various small, soft-bodied insects of the family Aphididae that have mouthparts specially adapted for piercing and feed by sucking sap from plants.
