但它有能让自己更具吸引力的方法
But she has ways of making herself more attractive.
雌性费洛蒙
Feminine pheromones.
有虫已经开始感兴趣了
Someone's on the pickup already.
一只触角又长又粗的雄性
A male with long, thick antennae.
它的气味的确极具吸引力
Her scent is alluring for sure.
但要小心
But tread carefully.
雌性螳螂有咬掉对方头部的嗜好
Female mantises have a thing for biting off heads.
我相信它们会自己想出办法的
I'm sure they'll work it out.
至少大部分后院里的虫子们都还活着
At least most of the backyard bugs are still standing.
就连我们的小火蚁都撑过来了
Even our little fire ant made it through.
说实话,来这里的头几个月 真的很煎熬
Not gonna lie, the first few months here have been tough.
但一如既往,这只小蚁雄兵
But as always, this antsy little survivor
会克服万难
will pick herself up again
继续尝试在这里成家筑巢
and keep trying to make a home here.
对于其他虫子来说,则是时候离开了
For others, it's time to move on.
后院的最后一批蝴蝶
The transformation is complete
也已经羽化完成
for the last of the backyard butterflies.
迁徙中的小奇蹟
A little migrating marvel,
继续完成妈妈的未竟之旅
picking up where mom left off.
要飞到目的地,还要两代的时间
It takes two more generations to go the distance.
因此,当初在这个后院落地的蝴蝶们
So, the legacy of the monarchs who first arrived
将由它们的曾孙辈
in this backyard will continue into Canada,
将它们的传承带往加拿大
carried by their great grandchildren.
而且只要这里的乳草继续生长
And as long as the milkweed is left to grow,
帝王斑蝶明年也会继续造访
they'll be back here next year.
随着我们逐渐占据自然的世界
As we take over more of the natural world,
给大自然腾出点空间
creating a little space for nature
也变得比以往都要重要
becomes more important than ever.
如果把全美的后院加起来
Add all the backyards in the US together,
面♥积♥几乎能覆盖佛罗里达州
and they cover an area almost as big as Florida.
所有我们做与没做的事
The small things we do and don't do
都会大幅影响这些小生命
can have a huge impact on little lives.
而没有比一个虫虫生机盎然的后院
And there's no better sign of a healthy home
更能显示家庭健康和睦的指标了
than a backyard buzzin' with bugs.
也许小螳螂只剩几周的生命了
Lil' mantis may only have weeks left to live,
但它的生命已经完整了
but her life is complete.
它已经成为新一代独角螳螂们
She's become a mom to a new generation
称职的母亲了
of tiny unicorns.
所以无论如何 这里都将是它永远的家
So, one way or another, this will be her forever home.
