Cicada monkeys can be raised artificially without the need for breeding management or feeding. Cicada eggs are hidden in the soil, and the nymphs will suck the root juice of tree roots to develop and grow. The eggs are collected after the cicadas lay eggs in autumn, usually around the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The cicadas use the small thorns on their tails to pierce the tender branches of one-year-old trees and lay their eggs inside the branches, mostly on juicy branches such as fruit trees. After laying eggs, the branches will dry up, so most branches with green lower ends and dry tips have cicada eggs. Post-harvest processing: After collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dry leaves, cut off the two ends, bundle thirty branches into a bundle, spread a layer of sand on the bottom of a large washing basin, and put the bundled branches upright in the basin. Keep the temperature at 28-34 degrees and the humidity moist. Spray it when it is dry. Use a sprayer to spray the branches until they are thoroughly wet. The larvae will hatch in about fifteen days. At this time, you will see some larvae crawling up and down on the branches. When about 20% of the larvae have hatched, they should be buried. The burial pit should be in an area with many fine and soft hair roots so that the larvae can absorb nutrients from the roots. Choose the plot where honeysuckle is planted. It can be artificially bred. It does not need special feeding. It has strong vitality and its main food is the nutrients in the roots of trees. The reproduction process of cicada monkeys: the adults go through molting, mating, laying eggs, hatching, burrowing into the soil and attaching to the roots, and become adults after three years. A cicada monkey can lay about 200 eggs. It takes about one month from egg laying to hatching. The temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. The hatched larvae are only the size of millet grains. Sprinkle the larvae on the soil in the cultivated forest. If the soil is dry, sprinkle some water to keep the soil loose and moist. When catching cicada monkeys, you can wrap a circle of tape on the tree 1.2 meters above the ground and harvest it every half an hour. Generally, 200 kilograms of cicada monkeys can be harvested per acre of forest. |
