Chapter 867

Hornets are much better off than bees.

The stinger of the wasp has no barbs, so it is easy to pull out from the surface of the organism, and it does not need to sting like a bee to lose its own life.

Perhaps because they have no worries, wasps are more aggressive, happy to repeatedly sting creatures that annoy them.

Hornets are hot-tempered, aggressive, and good at gang fights.

The venom of the wasp can not only cause intense pain to the enemy, even heart paralysis, but also contains a special pheromone.

Once a creature is stung by a wasp, the wound will emit this pheromone, attracting nearby wasp swarms to help its companions to sting the unlucky creature!

Joan turned into a giant bee, and carefully observed his butt against the collected data.

Huh?

What is that tube extending from the tip of the tail?

It is three feet long, the root is slightly thicker than the thumb, and the end is extremely sharp. Isn't this a large bee needle?

Joan was so flustered!

This is how to do? !

Staring at the long needle shaped like a rapier, Joan was forced to face the reality no matter how reluctant he was, and admitted that there was indeed a bee sting growing on his ass.

Possessing a bee sting is like carrying a long poison-poisoned sword with you. It should be a good thing to have a natural sharp edge.

The reason why Joan's mood is tangled is because he knows very well that only female bees can grow bee stings.

As for drones, they don't even have fallopian tubes. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that they have bee stings made from specialized fallopian tubes, right?

Joan is not the kind of "male chauvinist" who holds sexist concepts, but he is a man from birth, and he agrees with his gender both physically and psychologically.

Now just because of a strange disease, her gender was reversed overnight, and she turned into a female bee inexplicably, which made her psychologically unacceptable!

Joan quickly thought of another possibility.

There are bee needles, but they are not necessarily the product of oviduct specialization, nor are they necessarily female bees.

With luck, he looked at his tail again, but what greeted her was a blow to the head!

It turns out that not only does he have a sting, but a less obvious cavity beneath it.

Comparing the anatomical diagrams of bees traced from the literature, Qiao An had to admit that the thing growing on his buttocks was a real "needle cavity".

Did it really become a female bee?

Qiao An became more and more flustered, and couldn't express her suffering.

This is indeed a very uncomfortable blow, but the "blow" is always the most violent at the beginning of the advent, and as time goes by, after being forced to accept the reality, it will not be so uncomfortable.

Qiao An stared at his bee needles in a daze, and suddenly felt a little lucky.

It is a pity to become a female bee, but fortunately, my bee needles are smooth and do not have barbs like bees.

In other words, he can use this long sword-like bee needle to sting the enemy without any burden, and he doesn't have to worry about tearing out his intestines afterwards.

Well, this is also a blessing in misfortune.

So far, Joan has a vague definition of his giant bee form: the physiological structure is similar to that of a female wasp.

But then, when he turned his attention to his own face, the conclusions he had just reached became less reliable.

Joan flew to the mirror, and carefully observed his "mouthparts" in the form of a giant bee by the moonlight coming in from the window.

According to literature records, the mouthparts of wasps are relatively primitive "chewing type". They mainly feed on meat and plants, and they cannot collect honey. Of course, there is no honey in the wasp's nest.

In this regard, the seemingly stupid bear is more clever than some bear children.

Bears who love to eat honey rarely attack the nests of wasps, because they know very well that honey is unlikely to be found in the honeycombs made of wood pulp, and only a group of furious wasps will be waiting for them.

On the contrary, some brats who have never seen the world can't tell the nests of bees and wasps. When they see a beehive, they poke it with a bamboo pole and try to get some honey to satisfy their hunger. Got stung all over his head.

Joan still remembered that this morning, when she first realized that she had become a giant bee, she felt hungry and instinctively wanted to eat meat instead of pollen.

Judging from the appetite preference at that time, it was more in line with the wasp's carnivorous nature.

However, he couldn't figure out why his giant bee form had the memory of how to collect pollen and brew nectar?

It's not a skill the Hornets have to master.

After observing his "mouthparts" in the mirror, Joan's confusion deepened.

Judging from the reflection in the mirror, my own mouthparts in the form of a giant bee are obviously very different from the "chewing" mouthparts depicted in the illustration in the notes, but are closer to the "chewing and sucking" mouthparts depicted in another illustration. "Mouthparts.

Honeybees have more complex mouthparts than wasps.

The upper jaw is well developed, used for nesting and chewing solid food such as "pollen", and the other part is extended into a needle shape, which is suitable for sucking liquid food such as "nectar".

This kind of mouthparts unique to bees is suitable for both chewing and sucking, so it is called "chewing and sucking" mouthparts.

If the projection in the mirror truly reflects the facial features of the giant bee, then Joan's mouthparts in the form of the giant bee are undoubtedly "chewing and sucking".

If mouthparts are used as the criterion for classifying species, wouldn't I be closer to bees than wasps?

Joan shook the tentacles on his forehead, and a look of confusion appeared in the compound eyes.

He was getting more and more confused about which kind of bee he should belong to.

Putting this question aside for now, Joan turned to the mirror and observed the pair of tentacles on his head.

Giant bees have poor eyesight, but a very developed sense of smell, mainly due to the pair of antennae on their heads.

The tentacles can help Joan feel the slight odor particles in the air, replace the eyes to identify distant creatures, and the effect is equivalent to the 3rd ring spell "Tremor Perception".

During the flight, the antennae can also detect wind speed, wind direction and air pressure, and can even detect sharp changes in atmospheric pressure and humidity, thereby predicting that a storm is coming.

In addition, Joan also discovered a etiquette for communication between giant bees from his prior knowledge.

If he meets other giant bees and intends to express his affection for the other bee, he can touch the other's antennae with his own tentacles, just like shaking hands and hugging humans.

Joan was very satisfied with his tentacles, but when he started counting the number of tentacles according to the information in the excerpted notes, the "ghost" that he had finally thrown out of his mind just now came back to his mind again.

The antennae of bees are composed of countless small links, and the male and female are different.

Joan carefully observed his tentacles, and found that both tentacles are made up of 13 links.

According to research literature, female bees usually have 12 antennae, and only male bees have 13 antennae.
