Fang Ye said, "Of course, an ecosystem also contains many different food chains!"
Besides frogs, other beneficial farm animals include various spiders, some of which spin webs in rice paddies to prey on flying insects like rice planthoppers and moths, while other spiders do not build webs and hunt like rangers on the straws and leaves of the rice, swiftly capturing the flying insects before they can escape!"
There are also dragonflies, which are carnivorous insects that can catch prey while flying. Not only do they catch pests like moths, but they are also excellent at eliminating mosquitoes in the rice paddies!"
Not just the adult mosquitoes that fly are their food, but also the mosquito larvae 'wrigglers' in the water can't escape their predation. Rice paddies are an ideal habitat for dragonflies.
Now there are no dragonflies in our rice paddies yet, but we already have frogs, so can dragonflies be far behind? Maybe they'll appear after the next round of sowing!"
