Beautiful pictures with insects and flowers Flowers and insects are very often connected by an organic chain of mutually beneficial relationships. Many flowers need pollinators to survive. And pollinating insects are attracted to the sweet nectar inside the calyxes. We can admire beautiful pictures of the natural tandem, where everyone has their own role, and as a result, the kingdom of Flora lives and prospers.

Presentation "Insects"
Lesson topic:"Insects".
Program content. Introduce children to the diverse world of insects. Learn to highlight characteristics insects Develop curiosity. Foster a desire to preserve the diversity of the surrounding world.
Butterfly. There are many types of butterflies in nature: cabbage white, wren, admiral, day peacock, etc. The color and shape of some makes them almost invisible among plants. Others, on the contrary, have bright markings that scare away enemies. The flowers of many plants are especially attractive to butterflies due to their bright color and aroma. Adult butterflies feed on nectar, which they suck from flowers with their long proboscis. And some butterflies do not feed at all, since they live for a very short time. They use the energy from food eaten when they were still caterpillars. The lifespan of adult butterflies ranges from several hours to 11 months.
Spider. Spiders are interesting garden inhabitants. To catch insects, most spiders weave webs. Spiders accurately predict the weather. Folk signs: “If the web is long and viscous, the weather will be good”, “The web spreads over the plants - it will be warm.”
Ladybug. In the midst of spring, when many voracious lovers of greenery appear in the world of insects, they come to the rescue ladybugs. They were named so because in case of danger, droplets of a caustic liquid of a whitish-yellowish color, reminiscent of milk, appear on the bends of the legs. Ladybug eats aphids - the worst enemy of plants. The red coloring of the cow's wings is a warning; birds do not touch it.
Chafer. This beetle appears in May, which is why it got the name May beetle. Like all beetles, the cockchafer's wings are covered on top by hard elytra. When preparing to fly, the beetle raises its elytra and begins to intensively breathe air through its respiratory tubes. Having “pumped up” with air, the beetle spreads its wings and, setting them into rapid motion, rises into the air. The rigid elytra are motionless and raised high during flight. May beetles usually fly in the evening, at dusk, with a strong buzzing sound and land mainly on deciduous trees, whose leaves are eaten. The cockchafer is harmful insects for the human economy.
Ant. Ants see poorly; they are helped by their antennae, with which they feel everything they encounter along the way. The vast majority of ants are predators. They feed their larvae with animal food, mainly insects. Ants love to eat birch or maple sap. Ants carry weights up to 10 times their own body weight.
Grasshopper. Grasshoppers are green and brown. They cleverly camouflage themselves: green - in green grass, brown - closer to the roadsides. All grasshoppers are similar to each other - they have long, strong legs, characteristic straight wings, females have “swords” or sabers at the back - ovipositors, with the help of which they lay eggs in the ground, in plant stems or in leaves. All grasshoppers “sing” with the help of their wings, have “ears” on their front legs, and jump well.
Publications on the topic:
In a park, in a square or in the yard, together with your child, find and examine insects: a bee, an ant, a grasshopper, a dragonfly, a butterfly, a ladybug.
I present to your attention a didactic manual - a laptop on the topic “Insects”. In this folder I tried to summarize and systematize.
Presentation game on the topic "insects" in the first younger group"The Fourth Wheel" Didactic games- This is a method of training children in uniform.
And again about the laptop. I have been convinced more than once that a lapbook is an excellent assistant in the work of a teacher. Everything you need is collected in one folder.
Good evening dear colleagues. I would like to present to your attention my first work, a lapbook “insects.” Goal: to continue to introduce children to different.
Collection of lapbooks in our middle group replenished new topic- "Insects". The advantage of a laptop is that it can be stored in a small folder.
Flowers and insects are two worlds, rich in shapes and colors, connected by inextricable bonds. What is a flower and what role does it play in the fate of the plant?
Let's take the well-known apple tree flower (Fig. 1). In it you will find a green calyx and soft pink petals. This is the clothing of a flower, its corolla, and inside the corolla are the stamens and pistil. The stamens produce flower dust. The lower part of the pistil, the so-called ovary, turns into a fruit over time, but only when flower dust particles fall on the pistil and pollinate it (fertilize it).
However, this is not yet an answer to the question of what a flower is and where it came from.
A flower is a transformed leaf-stem shoot, greatly shortened and compressed, adapted for plant propagation. The flower is therefore the reproductive organ of the plant. The calyx, petals, stamens and pistil are nothing more than modified leaves.
What do insects have to do with flowers?
To answer this question, I will talk about one extremely interesting experience, which was carried out by the English naturalist Charles Darwin.
He took two beds, separated them with a partition and sowed each with clover seeds. Clover has bloomed. Then he covered one of the beds with a thick net, and left the other open. The flowers in both beds bore fruit. But where the bed was covered with a net, there were much fewer fruits and seeds than in the open bed. Darwin explained this by saying that open bed Bumblebees and bees were flying, but they could not fly up to the bed covered with a net.
Having made this assumption, he performed an experiment with two blossoming poppies grown in pots. One of them was pollinated with its own pollen, and the other Darwin pollinated with pollen taken from another poppy. A flower pollinated with its own pollen produced a small poppy box with very a small amount seeds, small, poorly germinating, producing frail, non-viable sprouts. A flower that was artificially pollinated with pollen from another poppy produced a large capsule of multinucleate good seeds, from which large viable plants grew. Thus, it was found that self-pollination is less beneficial for plants than cross-pollination, i.e. pollination of a flower with pollen from another similar flower. Knowing this, we can immediately clearly imagine what the connection is between the world of flowers and the world of insects.
In orchard, over newly blossoming trees, in a flower garden, over bright fragrant flower beds, over an unmown meadow, which is covered with a motley carpet of flowers, all kinds of winged insects fly. There is a clumsy, shaggy bumblebee, a slender wasp, a hardworking bee, a colorful little beetle, and a butterfly. Especially a lot of butterflies. Playing in the sun with their bright colored wings, butterflies fly easily and gracefully in the air: variegated polyflowers, yellow lemongrass, long-tailed swallowtail, silvery mother-of-pearl and many long-bellied sphinx butterflies. They all fly from flower to flower, from one tree to another.
For what? What do they need? - They are feeding. The food of winged gourmets is hidden in the bright corollas of flowers. First of all, there is a lot of flower pollen here, which some insects feed on. Here lie light drops of sweet juice - nectar. Flower pollen and nectar serve as bait for insects. But by collecting pollen and nectar, insects bring great benefits to plants, as they contribute to their cross-pollination.
Plants are covered with bright flowers, spreading delicate aroma, do not produce pollen and nectar so that we can admire them, inhale their aroma and feast on fragrant honey. The bright outfit of soft pink carnations, blue bells, bright red poppies, golden yellow buttercups and other flowers, their charming smell and sweet nectar, nature has created for centuries for the world of insects in the interests of the plants themselves.
The bright, conspicuous color of flowers and their aroma serve as a signal to insects, by which they can see and feel from afar where the food they are looking for is located. Flying from flower to flower, insects cross-pollinate them. And cross-pollination provides the plant with healthy, viable offspring.
On plants with small, inconspicuous flowers, flowers usually grow in the form of baskets, umbels, panicles and catkins, which makes the flowers noticeable to insects (Fig. 2).
Trees such as spruce, pine, oak, alder and willow do not have bright, noticeably colored flowers. But they end up like this a large number of pollen that sometimes floats in the air in the form of small yellowish clouds. Cross-pollination in these plants is achieved with the assistance of a light breeze. The wind carries pollen from the flowers of some trees to the flowers of others.
Finally, let's take the linden tree. Its flowers are very modest and inconspicuous in appearance, but the linden tree is very fragrant, and the smell attracts insects.
But not only the bright, eye-catching “outfit”, not only the smell, the abundance of flower dust and nectar contribute to cross-pollination. A flower with its shape and structure individual parts(stamens, pistils, petals) is adapted so that an insect can sit comfortably on the petals, penetrate deep into the corolla, load itself with pollen and, flying to another similar flower, leave this pollen on its pistil.
The arrangement of the pistil and stamens is often such that the flower cannot pollinate its own pistil. This is facilitated not only by the location, but also by the time of maturation of the stamens and pistils. It usually happens like this: when the pistil is ripe and ready for fertilization, the stamens on the same flower are not yet ripe, and vice versa. When the pistil has already withered, only then does a large amount of flower dust ripen on the stamens.
It is clear that under such circumstances self-pollination cannot occur, and the plant needs the help of wind or an insect to transfer pollen from one flower to another.
In a curziella flower, the anthers mature before the stigma becomes capable of pollination, so self-pollination cannot occur. When the anthers ripen and open, the pollen contained in them spills onto the warty surface of the immature stigma. Then the serpentine style unwinds somewhat and rests against the arch, becomes longer, and the pollen-covered stigma rests against the arch of the corolla. In this position, the style and stigma represent a projectile, ready to act at the first push from the outside.
A bumblebee flying over red curziella flowers lightly touches the corolla. Then the “throwing projectile” begins to move (Fig. 3): the column of the pistil quickly straightens, jumps out and scatters the flower pollen lying on its stigma in all directions. In this form, it flies to another curtianella, and here there appears a flower with an open corolla, from the middle of which a fully ripe stigma of the flower protrudes; the bumblebee involuntarily gives it part of its unnecessary burden and thus perfectly pollinates the curtianella.
The flowers of the well-known beaver have the same structure as the flowers of peas and beans. In each flower, the petals form a large “sail”, an underlying “boat” and two “wings” on the sides. Inside the corolla are the stamens and pistil.
An insect, for example a bee, flies in, sits on a boat in which the stamens are hidden, and, pressing on it with its weight, causes the entire bunch of stamens to jump out of the boat and shower the bee with yellow pollen. When a bee “powdered” in this way flies to another beaver flower, it leaves several specks of dust on its pistil. This is enough for the flower to be fertilized and produce a fruit with seeds.
But the well-known sage flower (Fig. 4). He is even more curious. Its corolla consists of two lips. The lower lip is a small platform or balcony on which a bumblebee can freely sit. The upper lip is like a vault, under which sit the stamens and pistil. Each stamen is a rather original device: a crossbar hangs on a thin thread, which can, as if on hinges, rise and fall. At one end of this crossbar there are two sacs filled with pollen.
Rice. 4. Two-lipped sage flower: a - cross-section of the flower: 1 - pistil, 2 - stamen; 6 - a flower into which a bumblebee climbed; c - anthers in normal position; d - anthers have dropped
A bumblebee flies to such a flower. Trying to get deep into the flower to get nectar from there, he touches the lower end of the crossbar with his head. The crossbar lowers, hits the bumblebee's back with its upper end, and pollen spills out of the sacs. The bumblebee then flies to another similar flower, carrying many dust particles on its back. It touches the tip of the flower's pistil with its back, dust particles fall on it, and the flower is pollinated.
Kirkazon flowers are even more amazing. small flower This plant has the shape of an elongated tube expanding upward. At the bottom of it sit the stamens and pistil. The middle part is dotted with small bristles that look inside the flower.
The flower attracts insects with its rather bright color. A small fly flew in. It freely makes its way inside the flower, because the bristles in the tube allow it to pass down. Having drunk nectar, she is about to fly back - and turns out to be a prisoner: the bristles are in the way. She thrashes and thrashes, trying to break free. Meanwhile, the stamens ripen, the pollen falls out of them, and the hairs blocking the fly’s path to freedom fade, and our fly, powdered with pollen, flies freely to again get into another similar flower and transfer the pollen to its pistil.
The structure of orchid flowers - inhabitants of hot tropical countries - is especially striking. Orchids are the most striking representatives of the world of flowers (Fig. 5). They are found rarely in temperate countries. They are bred in greenhouses and are highly prized. And in hot countries you can count literally several thousand species of orchids. How varied in shape and color their flowers are!
Botanist Cohn describes them very beautifully and figuratively.
Each of the orchids has a special cut “dress”. You can see all the colors on them, from the purest white or pale pink to dark purple, bright yellow and red, and in the most original combinations. Some orchids are spotted, like panthers, others are striped, like tigers, and others are dotted with bizarre patterns. Some peek out from the grass, others entwined the tree trunks and sway there on the highest branches.
One orchid seems to be sticking out a crimson tongue, another has a flower that looks like a bull's head with curled horns, and a third looks like a disgusting spider. Finally, there are orchids that look like bumblebees, flies, wasps and mosquitoes. There are also those who seem to float in the air in the form of butterflies. Others look like white doves or hummingbirds with sparkling feathers.
But botanists are well aware that this variety of shapes and colors hides the same adaptation for cross-pollination, which is unchanged in all orchids.
Let's focus on just one such flower. These are orchids that are also found in our country, the so-called night violets. On the long arrow of the plant there are white fragrant flowers in a spikelet. Each of them has both a pistil and stamens, i.e., the usual reproductive organs of any flower. Each of the flower's pair of stamens is club-shaped, and both sit together on a thin membrane attached to the bottom of the flower. On the sides of these two stamens, at their base, is a two-lobed stigma of the pistil.
When a butterfly flies up to this flower, launches its proboscis into it, and then, having sucked on nectar, pulls the proboscis back, then at its tip you can see two stamens stuck to the butterfly’s proboscis. Having reached another similar flower, the butterfly involuntarily touches the tops of the stamens sitting on its proboscis to the stigma of the pistil of the second flower and leaves dust particles on it. Everything is adapted so that the flower is pollinated, fertilized and bears fruit.
Flowers have everything adapted for cross-pollination; the same is observed in insects: their structure and way of life correspond to the structural features of those flowers from which they take bribes, contributing to their pollination. The bee and the bumblebee have jaws and paws designed so that they can deftly lick honey; Along the way, the insects are powdered with flower pollen. Butterflies' mouths are designed quite differently from those of other insects. Moths do not gnaw or chew food, as many beetles do, they do not lick it like bees, but suck honey from the corolla of flowers; therefore, instead of stingers or a tongue, like bees, they have a long proboscis. The proboscis of butterflies is to a certain extent adapted to the structure of various flowers from which they draw nectar.
From everything that has been said here, it is clear that a close connection has really been established between the world of flowers and the world of insects: the lives of some are connected with the lives of others.
Millions of years ago, plants with bright colors did not yet exist on our planet. fragrant flowers. They developed after the appearance of insects such as bees, bumblebees and especially moths. The appearance of flowering plants is in turn associated with the emergence of many other insects. We can observe this connection at almost every step: some plants are designed in such a way that only certain types of insects can cross-pollinate them. This can be shown especially clearly in the following example.
In Brazil there is an orchid in which the nectar is placed in a special tube called a spur; this tube is about 30 centimeters long.
Since cross-pollination is always beneficial for a plant, and such pollination is facilitated by insects, there must be a butterfly that would have a proboscis 30 centimeters long, because only with such a long proboscis can one get the nectar lying in the spur of this orchid. Such a butterfly really exists. This is a twilight butterfly from the sphinx breed. The folded proboscis of this rather large butterfly is a spiral; when unfolded, it is about 30 centimeters long. The butterfly feeds on the nectar of these flowers and simultaneously contributes to their cross-pollination (Fig. 6). A lot of interesting and instructive things can be said on this topic, and then, probably, the colorful world of flowers and insects would seem even more interesting to you in its complex mutual connection.
In the light of the knowledge that he has modern science, and nature itself in all its diversity would seem to you even more majestic, even more beautiful.
Target theme week: to form and expand children’s elementary ideas about insects and flowering plants, about the features of their structure, characteristic features and ways to care for them. Develop gross and manual motor skills, visual and auditory attention. Foster a desire to protect the environment. From an early age, we introduce children to the nature around us, which gives us beauty and delights us at any time of the year. While walking and relaxing in nature, we never cease to admire what we see and pass on our feelings and thoughts to our children. We introduce all natural phenomena and its constituent parts. First of all, it is worth drawing the children’s attention to flowers and insects from the “immediate environment.” These are flowers: dandelions, daisies, calendula, tulip; insects: ladybugs, caterpillars, butterflies, grasshoppers. By observing flowers and insects, children will not only acquire new knowledge, but also learn to think, analyze, compare, and reason.
Both in kindergarten and at home, the child must be shown different kinds insects and flowers, talk about their living conditions and habitat, about the dangers and benefits of certain species for humans. All this not only develops children’s cognitive interest, but also expands their active speech reserve, and also forms creative thinking. The manifestation of cognitive interest in children from a very early age and the maintenance of this interest by adults can have far-reaching and very important consequences. Children will develop memory, speech, emotionality and sensuality, kindness, responsiveness and a desire to treat the surrounding nature with care. A lot depends on us, adults. Can we teach our children to love and care about nature? Will we answer the thousands of questions from our why girls?
The simplest and in a convenient way to study insects and flowers for children are cards with their images. All stories, poems about flowers and insects for children must be accompanied by a demonstration of illustrations. While studying insects and flowers, we tell children where flowers grow, where insects live, to find similarities and differences, how they can be useful for humans and other species of living beings. In our work, we tried to give children the concept that insects cannot exist without flowers, and flowers cannot exist without insects. Flowers provide insects with food. Insects, collecting nectar, pollinate plants and thanks to this, fruits and seeds appear.
Nature gives us beauty, which we help our children appreciate and comprehend. Telling and showing Interesting Facts from the life of plants and insects, we help children learn a lot of new and interesting things. We expand children's horizons and form a holistic picture of the world. We cultivate a love for nature and a caring attitude towards it! For children this is a whole small world living in harmony with big world wildlife. We adults need to support the child's sincere interest in the world around him. Dear adults, watch wildlife with your children. After all, it is observation that allows us to show children nature in natural conditions. Everything good about people from childhood! How to awaken the drains of goodness? Touch nature with all your heart: Be surprised, learn, love! /N.Lukonin./
