Cicada is also called cicada, cicada monkey is also called cicada monkey or cicada turtle. It is the larvae of cicada, light red, and good at crawling.

After the wheat harvest season, the rainy season arrives and the weather becomes hotter. The cicada monkeys emerge from the soft soil, climb onto tree trunks or grass tips, and transform into cicadas. Cicada monkeys are cold in nature and fragrant in taste. They have the functions of dispersing wind and clearing the lungs, relieving fever and calming the nerves. Cicada monkeys are rich in nutrients and delicious, making them a fashionable delicacy. In addition to their edible value, cicada monkeys also have extremely high medicinal value. According to the "Chinese Materia Medica", cicada nymphs have the effects of invigorating essence and strengthening yang, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production, protecting the lungs and benefiting the kidneys, antibacterial and lowering blood pressure, treating baldness and inhibiting cancer. Cicada shells are rich in chitin, isoxanthin, pterin, erythropterin, and adenosine triphosphatase. They have the effects of dispersing wind and heat, clearing rashes, removing cataracts, relieving guilt, tonifying the kidneys, clearing away heat, and detoxifying. They are often used to treat exogenous wind-heat, hoarse cough, sore throat, itchy rubella, red eyes and cataracts, tetanus, enuresis, enteritis, infantile epilepsy, and night crying. They are a commonly used Chinese medicinal material in China. It can be said that cicada nymphs are treasures from head to toe. The production areas are mostly Anhui, Shandong, and Henan. Due to its considerable market value, most of the products on the market are artificially cultivated. There are very few wild cicada monkeys. Due to the insufficient growth years (wild products are 3-7 years, and cultivated products are 1.5-2.2 years), some farmers even use some chemical agents, which leads to a decrease in the content of various elements in the body, weakening its nutritional and medicinal value.

Suggestion: When buying, do not pursue large size and good color. In fact, the weight of a high-quality cicada monkey is about 4-4.5 grams. It is slightly dark yellow, not golden yellow. The cicada monkey spends the first two or three years of its life underground, or perhaps even longer. During this time, it sucks liquid from the roots of trees. Then one day it breaks out of the ground and finds a tree to climb up with its survival instinct. After several years of slow growth, the cicada monkey crawls out of the ground as an energy storage body. Its front paws, which it uses to dig holes, can also be used for climbing.

5. Cicada monkey breeding method Introduction to cicada monkey breeding method

1. Feed supply: Cicada monkeys mainly parasitize on trees and survive by sucking sap. Trees with well-developed root systems and good growth all year round can be used as feed sources, such as poplar trees, fruit trees, etc. In addition, potatoes can also be fed.

2. Environmental conditions: Cicada monkeys do not have high requirements for their growth environment. It is best to provide soft light, which is very beneficial for frost prevention. In winter, the temperature is low, so it is necessary to burn fires around the breeding site to increase the temperature to prevent the cicada monkeys from freezing to death.

3. Soil requirements: The soil for the growth of cicada monkeys should be loose, ensuring good air permeability and drainage. The natural moisture content of the soil should be maintained at 50%. In winter, you can plant more other crops to ensure the temperature in the fields!
