Hi, it's Doug.
2
What's the most colorful insect you've ever seen?
3
Well, a couple years ago, I visited the state of Florida, and I was amazed to see these things.
4
They're some of the most colorful grasshoppers I've ever seen.
5
It's called a lubber.
6
And what was strangest of all?
7
It was the middle of December when I saw them.
8
Florida doesn't ever get very cold in wintertime, so you can see lots of insects there all year someone
9
named Kylie has a question about insects let's give her a
10
call now hi hi Kylie I have a question for you
11
where do bugs go in winter that's a great question
12
if you live somewhere with cold snowy winters you might have noticed this too just a few months earlier in the year,
13
you could find all kinds of insects around you, butterflies, ants, bees, and lots more.
14
But then winter comes, and they're just gone.
15
And it's weird, too.
16
I mean, it's not like there are no animals out in winter.
17
For example, you might still see deer, or squirrels, even a few birds, like if you get a chance to watch a bird feeder.
18
So, where do all the insects go?
19
What do you think?
20
Now would be a good time to pause the video and discuss.
21
Well, I grew up somewhere cold and snowy, and I used to wonder this myself.
22
But before I tell you about where insects go in winter, let me give you a clue involving a very different kind of animal.
23
These frogs.
24
You see, I'm kind of obsessed with frogs, and one of my favorite places to visit when I was younger was this pond that was near where I lived.
25
I'd look for frogs there.
26
I actually got to be pretty good at catching the frogs, showing them to my friends and family, and then releasing them again into the pond.
27
But every winter, the pond would freeze over, and the frogs would disappear.
28
It wasn't just the frogs, either.
29
I started to notice there'd never be any turtles in winter.
30
and never any snakes, too.
31
It was kind of sad for me, actually.
32
I missed seeing all these creatures I would find in the summer.
33
One winter, while walking around the edge of the frozen pond, I was bored.
34
I saw this rotten log sitting there, nothing too unusual.
35
But since I was bored, I decided to flip it over.
36
As I flipped it over, I was totally shocked by what I saw.
37
There, under the log, nestled into the freezing cold mud, was this frog in the middle of winter.
38
It was just laying there, barely moving.
39
Whoa, wait a second.
40
The frogs were there the whole time?
41
That's when I learned that frogs do something kind of like hibernation.
42
They go into a long sleep in winter, burying themselves in the mud when it first starts to get cold in the fall.
43
I'd heard of hibernation before, but thought it was something that only bears did.
44
And it turns out, it's not just frogs and bears but turtles do this as well, and snakes.
45
In fact, some snakes, like these, will actually all gather in a big pile, like in a cave underground, which helps them to stay warm.
46
Oh yeah, I never thought about where the snakes went.
47
So now, what about insects?
48
Could it be that they hibernate during the winter too?
49
I'll be honest with you, when I first heard this question, where do bugs go in winter, I thought you might be really disappointed by the answer.
50
Because the first thing I thought of were insects like these, praying mantises.
51
Praying mantises are one of many insects that, well, the answer is, they don't survive the winter.
52
They die.
53
While it's sad, it's part of their life cycle.
54
Every fall, praying mantises, and lots of other insects too, will lay eggs that do survive.
55
So even though the adults don't survive the winter, by spring, babies will be born and their life cycle will go on.
56
But as I started to research more about this question, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that not all insects die in the winter.
57
Now, I'd known that some insects,
58
like monarch butterflies, will actually escape the cold by flying thousands of miles farther south to reach warmer places.
59
They migrate, just like many birds do.
60
But what about hibernation?
61
Are there any insects that can do something similar to what frogs, turtles, and bears do, where they stay alive all winter but just aren't very active?
62
In fact, there are.
63
Like these, ladybugs are a good example.
64
And just like the snakes you saw earlier, ladybugs will often gather together in a big pile in a warm place.
65
Sometimes they even try to stay warm by sneaking their way into people's houses.
66
If you live somewhere cold in winter, you might be able to notice ladybugs doing this too.
67
So in summary, insects and other bugs have different ways of surviving cold, snowy winters.
68
Some of them fly south to warmer places.
69
Others die, but lay eggs.
70
And still others are able to survive all winter.
71
They do something similar to hibernation.
72
That's all for this week's question.
73
Thanks, Kylie, for asking it.
74
Now, for the next episode, I reached into my question jar and chose three questions submitted to me that I'm thinking about answering.
75
When this video is done playing, you'll get to vote on one.
76
You can choose from Why do people throw confetti? Who invented the alphabet?
77
Or, how is glass made?
78
So submit your vote when the video is over.
79
I want to hear from all of you watching.
80
There are mysteries all around us.
81
Stay curious and see you next week.
82
Thank you.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | was amazed · might be really disappointed · will be born |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | you've ever seen · I've ever seen |
| “might / may” से संभावना might/may + क्रिया — जो हो सकता है पर पक्का नहीं | might have · might still see · might be |
| Superlatives the -est / the most … — समूह में सबसे ऊपर या नीचे | the most colorful |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 18 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'd, don't, I'm। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: shock /ʃɔk/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, hibernation /ˌhaɪ.bəɹˈneɪ.ʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, hibernation /ˌhaɪ.bəɹˈneɪ.ʃən/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/, cave /keɪv/, whoa /woʊ/, squirrel /ˈskwɪ.ɹ(ə)l/, invent /ɪnˈvɛnt/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: freeze /ˈfɹiːz/, pause /pɔːz/, amaze /əˈmeɪz/, pleasantly /ˈplɛzəntli/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: snake /sneɪk/, sneak /sniːk/, stare /stɛɚ/, squirrel /ˈskwɪ.ɹ(ə)l/, snowy /ˈsnoʊi/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर insect, snake, pond जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
